Adenoma

Adenoma - A noncancerous tumour or cyst that resembles glandular tissue and arises from the epithelium (the layer of cells that lines the inside of organs).

Adenomas of endocrine glands can cause excessive hormone production, leading to disease. For example, pituitary gland adenomas can result in acromegaly or Cushing’s syndrome.
