MeSH Heading: Hyperpituitarism
Tree Number(s): C10.228.140.617.738.250; C19.700.355
Unique ID: D006964
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D006964
Annotation: coordinate with specific hormone if pertinent
Scope Note: Disease of the glandular, anterior portion of the pituitary (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR) resulting in hypersecretion of ADENOHYPOPHYSEAL HORMONES such as GROWTH HORMONE; PROLACTIN; THYROTROPIN; LUTEINIZING HORMONE; FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE ; and ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE. Hyperpituitarism usually is caused by a functional ADENOMA.
