Histopathology Pituitary--Acidophilic adenoma

[tomasnoronha]

"This is a brain!" That actually is the base of the skull...but whatever.

3 types of cells: acydophilic, basophilic and cromossomes? (cromophobes I suppose...)

Anyway, thanks a lot for the videos ;)

Acidophilic pituitary adenomas are likely to secrete prolactin producing galactorrhea or growth hormone causing gigantism as the professor says

Basophilic adenomas other hand are likely to secrete TSH, ACTH, FSH, LH & cause problems like hyperthyroidism , Cushing's disease etc
