Abstract

Abstract: Pituitary adenomas are common neoplasms. Initially considered as sporadic tumours, some of them are associated with familial syndromes such as familial isolated pituitary adenoma, multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 and type 4, X-linked acrogigantism syndrome, Carney complex, pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma–pituitary adenoma, pituitary blastoma and McCune–Albright syndrome. They represent a group of diseases with different genetic background and variable phenotype. Here, we summarize the clinicopathological features of pituitary adenomas associated with these familial syndromes.
