The aim of this review was to provide an overview of the different pituitary tumour types in dogs and cats that have been reported in the literature. In dogs, the most common pituitary tumour type is the corticotroph adenoma, which can cause pituitary-dependent hypercortisolism.
29 Ιουν 2024 · Many pituitary adenomas don't need treatment. They are not cancer, so if they don't cause symptoms, simply watching them over time may be a good approach. If treatment is needed, the specific treatment depends on the tumor type, size, location and growth over time.
The outlook for dogs with pituitary-dependent Cushing disease is survival for about 2 years, with or without medications. Dogs treated with radiation or surgery may survive 2–5 years. Dogs that undergo surgery for a tumor on one of the adrenal glands may survive about 18 months.
The recommended starting dosage for dogs is 2–10 mg/kg, PO, every 24 hours; however, this may be increased or decreased, based on periodic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation test results (performed 3–8 hours after trilostane administration).
The largest section of the text is devoted to the management of pituitary tumors and is organized by pituitary tumor subtype. Pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and medical and surgical treatment are covered for each type of tumor.

In dogs, the most common pituitary tumor affects the region that produces adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH). Excess ACTH causes the adrenal glands to make too much cortisol (a naturally produced steroid), leading to a condition called hyperadrenocorticism or Cushing’s disease.
