Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN-1) is one of a group of disorders, the multiple endocrine neoplasias, that affect the endocrine system through development of neoplastic lesions in pituitary, parathyroid gland and pancreas. [ 1] Individuals suffering from this disorder are prone to developing multiple endocrine and nonendocrine tumors ...
Pituitary adenomas are tumors that occur in the pituitary gland. Most pituitary tumors are benign, approximately 35% are invasive and just 0.1% to 0.2% are carcinomas. [ 1] Pituitary adenomas represent from 10% to 25% of all intracranial neoplasms and the estimated prevalence rate in the general population is approximately 17%. [ 1][ 2]
Most patients are diagnosed between the age of 30-50. Tenosynovial giant cell tumor ( TGCT) is a group of rare, typically non-malignant tumors of the joints. TGCT tumors often develop from the lining of joints (also known as synovial tissue). [ 1][ 2][ 2]: 100 [ 3][ 3]: 245 . Common symptoms of TGCT include swelling, pain, stiffness and reduced ...
Craniopharyngioma is a rare, usually suprasellar [ 15] neoplasm, which may be cystic, that develops from nests of epithelium derived from Rathke's pouch. [ 16][ 17] Rathke's pouch is an embryonic precursor of the anterior pituitary. [citation needed] Craniopharyngiomas are typically very slow-growing tumors.

The pituitary gland or hypophysis is an endocrine gland in vertebrates. In humans, the pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain, protruding off the bottom of the hypothalamus. The human pituitary gland is oval shaped, about the size of a chickpea, [ 2] and weighs 0.5 grams (0.018 oz) on average.
