English

Subject field(s)
  • Hypophysis

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.

Puisque les symptômes apparaissent peu à peu, le diagnostic d’adénome à hormone de croissance est souvent établi tardivement.
