  • 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.

  • 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.
