Pituitary disorders are caused by pituitary tumors and cysts or dysfunction of the pituitary gland itself. Pituitary tumors and cysts occur sporadically and although occasional genetic abnormalities have been identified in some pituitary tumors, there are few consistent findings.
Other causes include: 1  a pituitary gland tumor in which the pituitary gland releases too much adrenocorticotropic hormone, which is also known as Cushingâs disease. 2  ectopic ACTH syndrome, which causes tumors that usually occur in the lung, pancreas, thyroid, or thymus gland. 3  an adrenal gland abnormality or tumor.
