Descriptor adenoma acidófilo
Entry term(s) adenoma eosinófilo
Scope note: Tumor benigno que suele localizarse en el lóbulo anterior de la hipófisis y cuyas células se evidencian con medios de tinción ácidos. Tales tumores hipofisarios pueden hacer que se produzca una secreción excesiva de hormona del crecimiento, que causa gigantismo o acromegalia. Un tipo específico de adenoma acidófilo puede desencadenar una galactorrea no puerperal. (Dorland, 27th ed)

Scope note: A benign tumor, usually found in the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, whose cells stain with acid dyes. Such pituitary tumors may give rise to excessive secretion of growth hormone, resulting in gigantism or acromegaly. A specific type of acidophil adenoma may give rise to nonpuerperal galactorrhea.
