Your pituitary gland is a pea-sized gland at the base of your brain. The pituitary is the "master control gland" - it makes hormones that affect growth and the functions of other glands in the body. With pituitary disorders, you often have too much or too little of one of your hormones.
Neoplastic pituitary masses can also cause compression of the optic chiasm and other adjacent structures. Disorders of the anterior or posterior pituitary gland which usually manifest as hypersecretion or hyposecretion of pituitary hormones. Your pituitary gland is a pea-sized gland at the base of your brain.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
Functional activity. All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm. Morphology [Histology]
In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries.

In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries.
The following are the ICD-9-CM code assignments for pituitary tumors, depending on their behavior classification: • Unspecified—239.7. Pituitary tumors can be considered either functioning or nonfunctioning tumors.
Another type of pituitary tumor is invasive adenomas, which may spread to outer covering of brain, bones of the skull, or sinus cavity near the pituitary gland. Pituitary tumors may also be carcinomas, which are malignant and may spread to the central nervous system and beyond. Occasionally, other primary cancers, such as breast and lung, ...
Other common signs and symptoms of functioning and nonfunctioning pituitary tumors include headache, vision change, difficulty in moving the eyes, seizures, clear and watery nasal drainage, hair loss, intolerance to cold, and weight change. Diagnosis.
To aid in a pituitary tumor diagnosis, the physician may order blood tests to detect an overproduction or deficiency of hormones. The physician may also order a CT scan or MRI. Vision testing may be done to see if the pituitary tumor has impaired the patient’s eyesight or peripheral vision.
Prolactin-producing tumors occur with the overproduction of prolactin (prolactinoma), which causes a decrease in the normal levels of sex hormones. It may cause hyperprolactinemia (253.1). Signs and symptoms of prolactinoma include oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea, reduced fertility, loss of libido, and erectile dysfunction.
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)- producing tumors occur when the ACTH is produced, stimulating the adrenal glands to make the hormone cortisol. When too much cortisol is produced, Cushing’s syndrome (255.0) occurs.
This approach, which may also be documented as transseptal or transnasal , is better on smaller tumors. Another technique is transcranial hypophysectomy.
