Symptoms of pituitary fibroma

summary

Pituitary fibroma is a kind of tumor that we are less exposed to. The appearance of pituitary fibroma is easy to pose a threat to our health. Therefore, it is necessary for us to understand what is pituitary fibroma and the symptoms of pituitary fibroma. In addition, we need to find out the prevention and treatment methods of pituitary fibroma, Let's look at the symptoms of pituitary fibroma

Symptoms of pituitary fibroma

Neurofibromatosis is a neuroectodermal disorder caused by dominant inheritance. Soft fibroma occurs in children, mainly in the trunk and proximal extremities. Multiple hemispherical or pedicled tumors ranging from several millimeters to several centimeters are soft, with skin color of pink or brown. It increases with age and develops slowly in adults.

The lesions of elephantiasis like multiple neurofibroma are usually distributed along the nerve trunk, and they are intradermal and subcutaneous soft nodules and plaques. About 10% of the patients developed malignant transformation, especially fast-growing and large lesions, which developed into neurofibrosarcoma. Coffee spots, common in the trunk, especially in the back, several centimeters of brown patches, oval shape, clear boundary. A small number of patients with oral papilloma, giant tongue. Nearly half of them had mental retardation, intracranial tumors and seizures. Neurofibroma is one of the most common diseases in pituitary fibroma. The prognosis of patients with rapid development of disease and large lesions in adulthood is poor due to malignant transformation.

Pituitary fibroma diseases (neurofibroma) disease classification: Dermatology, ENT disease description, this disease is also known as von Recklinghausen disease, autosomal dominant inheritance, neuroectodermal abnormalities caused by aberrant dominant genes, common for incomplete type and simple type.

matters needing attention

Surgical treatment: surgical resection of tumor is the main method for the treatment of pituitary tumor. The purpose of surgery is to relieve the tumor's pressure on the optic pathway and other tissues, restore hormone levels, and protect normal pituitary function. Many tumors can be effectively treated by transcranial or transsphenoidal surgery. However, surgery is also affected by tumor characteristics, such as tumor size, shape, growth direction, tissue type, degree of extrasellar expansion and patient characteristics, such as age, health status, degree of visual pathway and endocrine damage, and anatomy of sella turcica and sphenoid sinus.
