Doctors urged not to overlook pituitary tumors. (Not as Rare as Once Thought).
NEW YORK -- Consider the possibility of pituitary tumors in the differential diagnosis of any patient who presents with sudden and unexplainable onset of nonspecific symptoms such as headache, fatigue, cognitive deficits, weight gain, or diabetes.
Pituitary lesions are among the most commonly misdiagnosed medical conditions, in large part because their clinical manifestations are common to a wide range of other conditions. The situation is further compounded by the fact that most physicians consider pituitary tumors to be rare disorders, and therefore seldom consider the possibility.
