MeSH Heading: Adenoma, Acidophil
Tree Number(s): C04.557.465.625.650.025; C04.557.470.035.025; C04.557.580.625.650.025
Unique ID: D000239
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000239
Annotation: coordinate with PITUITARY NEOPLASMS
Scope Note: A benign tumor, usually found in the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, whose cells stain with acid dyes. Such pituitary tumors may give rise to excessive secretion of growth hormone, resulting in gigantism or acromegaly. A specific type of acidophil adenoma may give rise to nonpuerperal galactorrhea.
