<unk>  is a type of benign tumors in pituitary gland. The pituitary is considered the "master control gland" of hormone production because it regulates the activity of most other glands in the body. Hormones released by pituitary include vasopressin, oxytocin, growth hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone and prolactin. Although the tumors do not grow very large, they can have a big impact on a person's health. When the tumor becomes larger, it can compress and cause damage to nearby parts of the brain. Symptoms of<unk>  depend on the location of the tumor. Different regional tumors affect different hormones and appear different signs. Usual symptoms include vision loss, overproduction of hormones and hormone deficiency. Diagnostic tests include hormone levels in blood and/or urine samples detection, head computed tomography (CT) scan, head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and vision and visual fields tests. Treatments include surgery, radiation therapy and medicines.
