acidophil adenoma
<endocrinology, oncology, tumour> A
benign tumour, usually found in the
anterior lobe of the
pituitary gland, whose
cells stain with
acid dyes.
Such pituitary tumours may give rise to excessive secretion of growth hormone, resulting in gigantism or acromegaly. A specific type of acidophil adenoma may give rise to nonpuerperal galactorrhoea.
