  • Title: Multihormonal pituitary adenomas.
    Author: Heitz PU.
    Journal: Horm Res; 1979; 10(1):1-13. PubMed ID: 218878.
    Abstract:
    66 pituitary tumors detected at autopsy were investigated for the presence of corticotropin, beta-lipotrophin, growth hormone, prolactin, thyrotropin and gonadotropins by immunocytochemistry. 56 tumors contained hormone-producing cells; 45 were found to contain 2 or more hormones. This finding confirms and extends previous morphologic and clinical observations. The majority of pituitary tumors are mixed and they probably arise from impaired regulation at the hypothalamic and/or pituitary level.
