Benign neoplasm of pituitary gland The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM D35. 2 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A microadenoma is a very small, noncancerous tumor that typically develops in the pituitary gland – a pea-sized organ behind the eyes that regulates growth, development, metabolism and reproduction. There are two kinds of microadenomas: functioning (which produce hormones) and nonfunctioning (which do not).
Transsphenoidal surgery This is the most common way to remove pituitary tumors. Transsphenoidal means that the surgery is done through the sphenoid sinus, a hollow space in the skull behind the nasal passages and below the brain.
For prolactin-secreting microadenomas, surgical removal is followed by recurrence in 10-50% of patients. Therefore, medical therapy is preferred. Secretory tumors are best removed by the transsphenoidal approach.
A pituitary tumor is a tumor that forms in the pituitary gland near the brain that can cause changes in hormone levels in the body. This illustration shows a smaller tumor (microadenoma). Pituitary tumors are abnormal growths that develop in your pituitary gland.

Endoscopic pituitary surgery, also called transsphenoidal endoscopic surgery, is the most common surgery used to remove pituitary tumors.
Surgical removal of a pituitary tumor usually is necessary if the tumor is pressing on the optic nerves or if the tumor is overproducing certain hormones. The success of surgery depends on the tumor type, its location, its size and whether the tumor has invaded surrounding tissues.
Pituitary microadenomas develop when DNA mutations cause cells in the pituitary gland grow and divide uncontrollably. Experts are not entirely sure what causes these genetic mutations to happen. A small percentage of pituitary tumors run in families, but most cases do not have any obvious hereditary factor.
A pituitary tumor will not go away without treatment. However,many pituitary tumors never cause symptoms and will go undetected throughout a person's entire life. Additionally,certain kinds of functional pituitary tumors can be destroyed with medication only and never require surgery.
Pituitary tumors often require care from a team of doctors. Doctors on your team may include: Neurosurgeon: a doctor who uses surgery to treat brain and pituitary tumors. Endocrinologist: a doctor who treats diseases in glands that make hormones.
Microadenomas do not cause excess mortality. These tumors generally are too small to cause pain, diplopia, or pressure on the optic chiasm. Otherwise-normal anterior and posterior pituitary function remains intact. Any morbidity is caused by excessive hormone secretion or patient anxiety.
A pituitary microadenoma is almost always noncancerous, meaning it does not spread to other parts of the body.
The 5-year survival rate tells you what percent of people live at least 5 years after the tumor is found. Percent means how many out of 100. The 5-year survival rate for people with a pituitary gland tumor is 97%. Survival rates depend on the type of tumor, the person's age, and other factors.
If your tumor is causing symptoms or changes in hormone balances, then the majority of these tumors can be cured or controlled through a combination of surgery and radiation therapy. The first line of treatment is surgery, unless the patient has other medical conditions that make surgery unsafe.

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.
