Pituitary Tumors

Most pituitary tumors do not cause symptoms

The pituitary gland is a small organ in the brain. Most pituitary tumors are not cancerous, but because of where the gland is located, many tumors will press against the optic nerves. This can cause vision problems.

Most pituitary tumors do not cause symptoms. As a result, they are not diagnosed.​
