Description
Jiarui Zhou and coauthors report two invasive pituitary adenomas that secreted growth hormone in a 2026 case report with literature review. Pituitary tumors make up about ten percent of intracranial tumors, roughly forty percent invade nearby tissue, and hormone-secreting types add whole-body effects. Excess growth hormone causes acromegaly in adults, with enlarging hands, feet, and jaw, and gigantism in children before puberty.
Invasive growth also threatens the optic nerve and other nearby structures, and surgery may not cure such tumors. Two detailed cases let readers compare presentation, invasion patterns, and management choices for a difficult tumor subtype.
