Abstract:
94 cases of pituitary adenomas were examined with radio immunoassay, immunohis-tochemical technique and electron microscopy. Among them, 36 cases associated with hypersomato-tropinemia and hyperprolactinemia were studied. The results showed that they could be classified into four types: (1) mixed growth hormone and prolactin cell adenomas; (2) acidophil stem cell adenomas; (3) plurihormonal adenomas; and (4) growth hormone adenmoas. The pathological and clinical characteristics were discussed.
