Pituitary tumors: You need an endocrinologist to sort this out. A big pituitary tumor (>10 mm) can wipe out other hormones; you could lose some (eg reproductive) but not others. Typically the last to go from a pituitary insult is TSH and acth (thyroid and adrenal), but odd things can occur. A micro tumor does not usually damage the rest of the pituitary, but may produce excess hormone (eg. Prolactin, acth).

Pituitary tumor: Pituitary tumors can cause endocrine failure or over stimulation depending on their activity. The non secreting tumors usually cause a mild elevation in prolactin but may cause decrease in other hormones. I recommend a hi-res MRI of the brain.
