Abstract

Pituitary tumors are relatively uncommon in the pediatric population and most commonly present during adolescence. The average annual incidence has been estimated at two per million children, comprising about 8% of all intracranial tumors of childhood [3]. In contrast to adults, prolactin (PRL)- and adrenocortico-tropic (ACTH)-secreting adenomas appear to be most common, while nonfunctioning tumors appear to be rare [20, 22].
