A pituitary macroadenoma is a non-cancerous growth in the pituitary gland that is more than 10 mm in size. When determining the type of pituitary macroadenoma a person has, doctors look at what kinds of hormones it produces -- if any -- and what symptoms the person has. Symptoms of a pituitary macroadenoma vary, but may include headaches, vision problems, vomiting, and dizziness. Pituitary macroadenoma treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, and drug therapy. A pituitary macroadenoma is a benign (non-cancerous) growth in the pituitary gland that is larger than 10 millimeters in size. A pituitary macroadenoma differs from a pituitary microadenoma, which is smaller than 10 millimeters.
There are several types of pituitary macroadenomas, classified based on whether they produce hormones or not. A pituitary macroadenoma that makes one or more of the pituitary hormones is called a functioning pituitary macroadenoma. A pituitary macroadenoma that does not make hormones is called a nonfunctioning pituitary macroadenoma. Each type of functioning pituitary macroadenoma causes different symptoms, depending on the type of hormone that is being produced. Examples of functioning pituitary macroadenomas include Prolactin-producing macroadenomas, Growth hormone-producing macroadenomas, ACTH-producing macroadenomas and Thyroid hormone-producing macroadenomas.
Symptoms of a pituitary macroadenoma can range from simple, common complaints, such as tiredness or restlessness, to more serious symptoms, such as headaches, vomiting or dizziness. Pituitary macroadenoma symptoms vary, depending on the size and location of the macroadenoma. If the macroadenoma grows large and presses on nearby parts of the brain, localized symptoms, such as headache or dizziness, can occur. A pituitary macroadenoma can also press on the optic nerve, causing problems with vision. Pituitary macroadenoma symptoms also vary based on the hormones the pituitary macroadenoma is producing. Different types of pituitary macroadenoma treatment options are available. In general, treatments for a pituitary macroadenoma can include Surgery (removing the macroadenoma in an operation), Radiation therapy (using high-dose x-rays to kill macroadenoma cells), Drug therapy.
Many patients from America, Kenya, UK and Europe are nowadays opting for pituitary macroadenoma surgery at modern and surgically advanced brain tumor surgery hospitals of India at Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Chennai. The reasons for India’s popularity among foreign patients are high cost of treatment in abroad and inadequate insurance coverage.
