tumores hipofisarios
Scope note: Neoplasias que se originan o metastizan en la HIPÓFISIS. La mayoría de las neoplasias hipofisarias son adenomas, que se dividen en formas secretoras y no secretoras. Las formas productoras de hormonas se clasifican ulteriormente por el tipo de hormona que segregan. Los adenomas de la hipófisis también pueden caracterizarse por sus afinidades tintoriales (ver ADENOMA BASÓFILO, ADENOMA ACIDÓFILO y ADENOMA CROMÓFOBO). Los tumores hipofisarios pueden comprimir las estructuras adyacentes, como el HIPOTÁLAMO, ciertos NERVIOS CRANEALES y el QUIASMA ÓPTICO. La compresión del quiasma puede producir HEMIANOPSIA bitemporal.

Scope note: Neoplasms which arise from or metastasize to the PITUITARY GLAND. The majority of pituitary neoplasms are adenomas, which are divided into non-secreting and secreting forms. Hormone producing forms are further classified by the type of hormone they secrete. Pituitary adenomas may also be characterized by their staining properties (see ADENOMA, BASOPHIL; ADENOMA, ACIDOPHIL; and ADENOMA, CHROMOPHOBE). Pituitary tumors may compress adjacent structures, including the HYPOTHALAMUS, several CRANIAL NERVES, and the OPTIC CHIASM. Chiasmal compression may result in bitemporal HEMIANOPSIA.
Annotation: coordinate IM with histological type of neoplasm (IM); pituitary adenoma: coordinate IM with ADENOMA (IM) in spite of entry term PITUITARY ADENOMA
