Clinically, pituitary adenomas are divided into two types: pituitary cell tumors and pituitary adenomas. Pituitary cell tumors are extremely rare. The term "pituitary adenoma" used in clinical practice mostly refers to pituitary adenomas. Symptoms of pituitary adenomas fall into two categories. One involves the pituitary gland's role as an endocrine organ, leading to various endocrine symptoms; the other results from tumor enlargement causing compression of adjacent tissues. When endocrine function is hyperactive, different hormones can produce distinct symptoms.
