There are two types of tumors: malignant (ma-LIG-nant), or cancerous, tumors are made up of abnormally shaped cells that grow quickly, invade nearby healthy tissues, and often make their way into the bloodstream. When these cells travel to other parts of the body, they form additional tumors.
Pituitary tumors form in the pituitary gland, which produces hormones that play a part in a variety of bodily functions. Pituitary tumors are generally grouped into three categories: 1  Benign pituitary adenomas â These tumors are not cancerous, grow very slowly, and do not spread to other parts of the body. 2  Invasive pituitary adenomas â These tumors are not cancerous, but may spread to the skull or the sinus cavity.
