What is the normal size of a pituitary gland for a person > 40 years? When the tumor was diagnosed the size of the gland was 16mm in diameter. Does this mean it is a micro adenoma or macro adenoma? Usually the report will specify what is normal, if there is a lesion, if the lesion is suspected etc.
When corrections for total brain size were made, the pituitary gland was found to diminish in relative cross-sectional area throughout infancy. Upward convexity of the gland was seen in 63% of neonates less than 1 month of age, but in only 4% of infants older than 2 months.
