A retrospective study of United Kingdom involving 172 adults with partial or complete hypopituitarism diagnosed between 1967 and 1994 were found to have the following causes for the pituitary disease: pituitary tumor or treatment of the tumor (76%), an extra pituitary tumor (13%), unknown cause (8%), sarcoidosis (1%) and Sheehan's syndrome (0.5%).5 In contrast, a study from east India reported commonest etiology of hypopituitarism to be pituitary tumors (40%), Sheehan's syndrome (8%) and tuberculosis (3%).6 This reflects that Sheehan syndrome is still a common cause of hypopituitarism in developing countries.7,8 The presentation of any cause hypopituitarism includes progressive loss of pituitary hormone secretion.

In particular, the society highlighted Alison's support of patients with rare and complex conditions during a decade running the UK-wide Pituitary Foundation Endocrine Nurse helpline.

The incidence of pituitary lesions vary widely across the globe.

Aberrant expressions of lncRNAs have been linked to many human diseases, including secreting pituitary adenomas (10,11).

Figure 1 shows spectacular skull base structures such as the pituitary gland, pituitary stalk, branches of the circle of Willis, and the sellar region.

As of February 2018, 32 provincial and national hospitals throughout China, which are all members of the Chinese Pituitary Adenoma Collaboration Group, have been enlisted.

Computed tomography scan showed inhomogeneous intrasellar mass suggestive of pituitary adenoma.

The patient underwent partial resection of the pituitary tumor via a transsphenoidal approach.

Inactivating mutations in PROP1 perturb ontogenesis of pituitary gonadotrophs, somatotrophs, lactotrophs, and thyrotrophs.

The aim of this study was to provide clues to the pathogenesis of pituitary adenomas, and we are very willing to try our best to pursue a reliable outcome.

Surgical techniques for resection of pituitary tumours have come a long way since it was first introduced in late 18th century.

Neoplasms of the pituitary gland are extremely rare in childhood and adolescence (1:1.000,000) (1).

Cushing disease is a relatively rare cause of Cushing syndrome secondary to a hyperfunctioning pituitary adenoma.

The excess Cortisol found in Cushing syndrome can result from certain steroid medications or from tumors of the pituitary or adrenal glands.
