A member asked:
What symptoms would u normally have w/ pituitary tumor besides added height (over 35)? can tumor go unnoticed for decade or would there be some signs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You won't: Have a significant height increase with a growth hormone secreting pituitary tumor in adulthood because the bone growth plates are closed. Acromegaly is the clinical syndrome. There are other types of hormone secreting pituitary tumors that have various symptoms related to the hormones involved. Some don't affect hormones, but can cause symptoms due to their size or propensity to hemorrhage.
