Subject field(s)
  • Hypophysis
CONT

A growth hormone–secreting adenoma is a pituitary gland tumour that makes too much growth hormone (GH). These hormones are also known as "somatotropins." Because symptoms develop gradually, diagnosis of GH-secreting adenomas is often delayed.

Domaine(s)
  • Hypophyse
CONT

Un adénome à hormone de croissance est une tumeur de l’hypophyse qui produit une trop grande quantité d’hormones de croissance (GH). Cette hormone porte aussi le nom de «somatotrophine». Puisque les symptômes apparaissent peu à peu, le diagnostic d’adénome à hormone de croissance est souvent établi tardivement.
