A member asked:
Can you die from having a pituitary gland tumour if it's not treated immediately i am a female and 17?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Pituitary tumors are usually growths that may cause over-secretion of certain hormones, which can affect the body in various ways. These need to be identified and treated appropriately, but it would be extremely rare to have developed a pituitary malignancy.. Talk with your doctor about this concern.
