HPO HP:0011743 Adrenal gland agenesis "Absent development of the adrenal gland." [DDD:spark] HP:0008216
HPO HP:0011744 Secondary hypercortisolism "Hypercortisolemia associated with a overproduction of ACTH (often from a tumor), leading secondarily to overproduction of cortisol." [HPO:probinson] HP:0003118
HPO HP:0011745 Non-secretory adrenocortical adenoma "An hormonally inactive adrenocortical adenoma, that is, an adenoma that does not secrete excessive amounts of adrenal hormones." [DDD:spark] HP:0008256
HPO HP:0011746 Secretory adrenocortical adenoma "An hormonally active adrenocortical adenoma, that is, an adenoma that secretes excessive amounts of adrenal hormones." [DDD:spark] HP:0008256
HPO HP:0011747 Abnormality of the anterior pituitary "An abnormality of the adenohypophysis, which is also known as the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland." [DDD:spark] HP:0012503
HPO HP:0011748 Adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency "A reduced ability to secrete adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), a hormone that stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete of glucocorticoids such as cortisol." [DDD:spark] HP:0000830
HPO HP:0011749 Adrenocorticotropic hormone excess "Overproduction of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which generally leads secondarily to overproduction of cortisol by the adrenal cortex." [DDD:spark] This term refers to increased production of ACTH. If additionally hypercorticolism is present, this should be coded separated with HP:0011744. HP:0010514
HPO HP:0011750 Neoplasm of the anterior pituitary "A tumor (abnormal growth of tissue) of the adenohypophysis, which is also known as the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland." [DDD:spark] HP:0011747, HP:0040277
HPO HP:0011751 Abnormality of the posterior pituitary "An abnormality of the neurohypophysis, which is also known as the posterior lobe of the hypophysis." [DDD:spark, HPO:probinson] HP:0012503
HPO HP:0011752 Neoplasm of the posterior pituitary "The presence of a neoplasm (tumour) in the neurohypophysis, which is also known as the posterior lobe of the hypophysis." [DDD:spark] HP:0011751
HPO HP:0011753 Posterior pituitary dysgenesis "Abnormal development of the neurohypophysis during embryonic growth and development." [DDD:spark] HP:0011751
HPO HP:0011754 Pituicytoma "A solid, low grade, spindle cell, glial neoplasm of adults that originates in the neurohypophysis or infundibulum. Clinical signs and symptoms include visual disturbance, headache and features of hypopituitarism. Pituicytomas are well-circumscribed, solid masses that can measure up to several centimeters. Histologically, they show a compact architecture consisting of elongate, bipolar spindle cells arranged in interlacing fascicles or assuming a storiform pattern." [DDD:spark, PMID:17618441, PMID:19109577] HP:0011752
HPO HP:0011755 Ectopic posterior pituitary "An abnormal anatomical location of the posterior lobe of the hypophysis, also known as the neurohypophysis. The posterior pituitary is normally present in the dorsal portion of the sella turcica, but when ectopic is usually near the median eminence. This defect is likely to be due to abnormal migration during embryogenesis." [DDD:spark, HPO:probinson] HP:0011753
HPO HP:0011756 Posterior pituitary agenesis "Absence of the neurohypophysis owing to a developmental defect." [DDD:spark] HP:0011753
HPO HP:0011757 Posterior pituitary hypoplasia "Underdevelopment of the neurohypophysis." [DDD:spark] HP:0011753
HPO HP:0011758 Pituitary acidophilic stem cell adenoma HP:0002893
HPO HP:0011759 Pituitary gonadotropic cell adenoma "A type of pituitary adenoma that produces gonadotropins." [DDD:spark] HP:0002893
HPO HP:0011760 Pituitary growth hormone cell adenoma "A type of pituitary adenoma that produces growth hormone." [DDD:spark] HP:0002893
HPO HP:0011761 Pituitary null cell adenoma "A type of pituitary adenoma that is of unknown cellular origin and that lacks immunocytochemical or fine structural markers. Null cell adenomas are not associated with hormone excess." [DDD:spark] HP:0002893
HPO HP:0011762 Pituitary thyrotropic cell adenoma "A type of pituitary adenoma that produces thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)." [DDD:spark] HP:0002893
HPO HP:0011763 Pituitary carcinoma "A pituitary tumor with subarachnoid, brain, or systemic metastasis. The diagnosis of a pituitary carcinoma requires evidence of metastatic disease, either outside the central nervous system (CNS) or as separate noncontiguous foci within the CNS." [DDD:spark, NCIT:C4536, PMID:15741248] HP:0011750
HPO HP:0011764 Pituitary spindle cell oncocytoma "A spindled-to-epithelioid, oncocytic, nonendocrine neoplasm of the anterior hypophysis that manifests in adults and follows a benign clinical course. Pituitary spindle cell oncocytomas are firm, fibrous, and adherent to surrounding structures and are highly vascular." [DDD:spark, PMID:21886889] HP:0011750
