I'm not so sure about just calling it inflammation. It could be an inflammatory process, but typically the inflammatory diseases cause thickening of the pituitary stalk, (not necessarily a clear tumor) and loss of pituitary hormones.   You might want to seek the opinion of an endorine expert. I expect you will be undergoing testing and monitoring for some time. The doctors won't remove a tumor like this unless it is compromising your eyesight, or other critical brain structures.   Minnie   View other groups in this category.
