title: Pituitary adenomas.
abstract: This review highlights various aspects of the new functional classification of pituitary adenomas which is based on detailed immunohistochemical and ultrastructural analysis and correlation with clinical and biochemical findings. In addition, current investigation of the non-hormonal aspects of these tumours is discussed, including the application of flow cytometry in tumour ploidy studies.
