Pituitary microadenoma refers to a pituitary tumor with a diameter less than 1 cm. It is a tumor arising from residual epithelial cells of the anterior or posterior lobe of the pituitary gland or from craniopharyngioma. Clinically, it accounts for approximately 10% of intracranial tumors, with a higher incidence in males than females. Pituitary tumors commonly occur in young individuals and often affect growth and development, fertility, or the ability to study and work.
