A pituitary tumor is an abnormal growth in the pituitary gland, a small, pea-sized organ in the brain behind the nose. Most pituitary tumors are noncancerous, but they still require testing and treatment because they can cause the gland to produce too many or too few hormones, leading to health issues. Pituitary tumors account for about 10 to 15 percent of all brain tumors, including both cancerous and noncancerous types.
