What is the normal size of a pituitary gland for a person > 40 years? When the tumor was diagnosed the size of the gland was 16mm in diameter. Does this mean it is a micro adenoma or macro adenoma? Usually the report will specify what is normal, if there is a lesion, if the lesion is suspected etc.
Most pituitary tumors are noncancerous (benign). Up to 20% of people have pituitary tumors. However, many of these tumors do not cause symptoms and are never diagnosed during the person's lifetime. The pituitary gland is a pea-sized endocrine gland located at the base of the brain. The pituitary helps control the release of hormones from other endocrine glands, such as the thyroid and adrenal glands.
