No: A pituitary tumor or adenoma is associated with Cushing's disease when condition has several changes in the body secondary to hormonal disorder caused by prolonged exposure to the cortisol. It produces masculinizing effects and eventual humping of the back with frequent emotional changes. It has been associated with long-term use of corticosteroid, an adrenal tumor or pituitary lesion.
