===== Old terms =====


===== Microadenoma =====

[[Microadenoma]] is tumors less than 10 mm.

===== Macroadenoma =====
[[Macroadenoma]] includes tumors larger than 10mm. [[Giant pituitary neuroendocrine tumor]]s are more than 40 mm. There are [[functional pituitary neuroendocrine tumor]]s in which the cell type that composes them causes increased secretion of one or multiple hormones of the anterior pituitary. Alternatively, there are [[Non-Functioning Pituitary Neuroendocrine Tumor]]s that do not secrete hormones, but they can compress the surrounding areas of the anterior pituitary leading to hormonal deficiencies
