Characteristics of Pituitary Adenomas at Jordan University Hospital: An 18-year single center experience
Jordan Medical Journal(2021)
摘要
Background: Pituitary adenomas comprise about 10-15% of the total brain tumors and are mostly
benign. Many of them are incidentally found, others present with a wide variety of symptoms and
different sizes.
Aim & Objectives: In this study, we aim to report the characteristics (age, gender, size, functionality)
of pituitary adenomas at our institution during the last eighteen years
Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review at Jordan university hospital (JUH) over the
period of 2001 to 2019 for all patients with diagnosis of pituitary adenoma. A total of 323 patients were
included in this study. All data regarding age, gender, size, radiological reports and clinical presentation
were collected from electronic files and archives.
Results: The mean age was 37.43 (±15.52) years. There were 104 (32.2%) male and 219 (67.8%)
female. One hundred and sixty patients (49.6%) had microadenomas, 163 (50.4%) had macroadenomas.
One hundred thirty patients (40.3%) were diagnosed to have functioning pituitary adenomas.
Conclusion: Pituitary adenomas are benign tumors with variable characteristics in different cohorts.
Further studies should be encouraged in different hospitals across Jordan to establish a database for
pituitary adenomas in Jordan.
