Diseases of the pituitary.
This article reviews current understanding of the pathology and pathogenesis of pituitary diseases. It emphasizes the importance of morphologic analysis in the diagnostic sphere. The investigation of structure-function correlations in pituitary adenomas combined with a greater understanding of the molecular basis of disease will lead to new discoveries and elucidate the factors underlying pituitary tumorigenesis.
