A member asked:
What does it mean if a patient has a pituitary tumor that secretes large amounts of tsh?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tumor forming TSH: TSH-secreting pituitary adenomas are benign tumors of the pituitary gland. They produce too much thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) which causes the thyroid gland to enlarge and produce thyroid hormone in excess, leading to an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) .most common initial therapy for patients with a TSH-secreting pituitary adenoma is transphenoidal resection of the tumour.
