Functioning pituitary adenoma: 3- Growth Hormone Secreting Tumour- Diagnosis and Treatment

Functioning pituitary adenoma: 3- Growth Hormone Secreting Tumour- Diagnosis and Treatment We spoke about pituitary tumors. The important type is non-functioning adenoma - Adenoma that does not secrete hormones. Second is, the tumor that secretes more prolactin, third is about the 'Cushing's disease'. The fourth important thing is growth hormone secreting tumor. I have said that the growth hormone is an important hormone for our body to grow, for children to become adults the growth hormone is very important. If the growth hormone does not get secreted they will be very short, their body parts will not grow. It will result in growth hormone deficiency, that is one type. Similarly, if growth hormones are secreted in excess what problems will they face? How do we find a solution? That is what we will talk about now. So usually, what will happen when the growth hormone is in excess children will have different types of symptoms and for adults also symptoms will be different. Let us first look at the symptoms for adults. The usual symptom for adults will be their fingers in the hands and the toes in the legs will start becoming big. How do we find this out? They would be wearing a ring and the ring will not fit and start becoming tight. They would wonder why the fingers are big and why the ring is tight and end up removing the ring. Their hands will become big. Everyone will ask why their hands are so big. Initially they will not be able to find it. They will think that it is normal. Similarly, footwear too, when their legs become big the footwear that they normally wear will seem small. Gradually their footwear size will increase. So most commonly, the reason for these symptoms are those growth hormones. This is called 'Acromegaly'. 'Acro' is a Greek word and it means hands and legs. Hands and legs becoming big is only 'Megaly'. The symptoms of hands and legs becoming big is the common problem faced by adults. Another part will become big and that is their lips and their tongue and lips will become big. Their face too will become something similar to 'coarse facies'. Their chin will become protruding, their lips will become big. If there is a person in your house with such symptoms do not treat it casually they have the problem. Only because the growth hormone is high do they have such a problem. Because they just become big we cannot ignore it. When they become big like this, their body parts too will become big. The most important problem is the heart. Their heart will swell up and become big. As a result of that, the heart failure rate is high in such people. These will contribute to life threatening issues. Like I mentioned earlier in Cushing's syndrome, BP and sugar levels will be high. For those who have the problem of excessive growth hormone secretion, they too will face the same problems. For them too BP and sugar levels will be high. They will have heart failure. All these are systemic problems because of excess endocrine. So for those with such symptoms how do we diagnose? In the MRI scan the pituitary gland will be big. In the blood test, growth hormone levels will be very high. If that is the case, the solution for them is we do an endoscopy through the nose and if the tumor is removed, the growth hormones will reduce to the normal state and their hands and legs will become free, sugar and BP levels will be under control. So this is the solution for the problems caused by the excess growth hormone.
