| Abstract: | A silent pituitary adenoma (SPA) is characterized by the expression of pituitary hormones, detected by immunohistochemical staining, in the absence of clinical signs or symptoms of hormonal excess. Compared with functional pituitary adenomas, little is known regarding the involvement of SPAs in metabolic disorders. This study aimed to examine the correlations between SPAs and metabolic disorders, including obesity, abnormal glucose tolerance, hypertension and dyslipidemia. Seventy-four patients with nonfunctional pituitary adenomas who underwent a pituitary adenomectomy in Hokkaido University Hospital from 2008 to 2016 were retrospectively examined. Pituitary adenomas were immunohistochemically classified into pituitary hormone positive or negative groups. Twenty whole hormone-negative pituitary adenomas were excluded because we couldn’t identify pituitary transcription factors which is necessary for the diagnosis of a null cell adenoma. The preoperative rates of obesity, abnormal glucose tolerance, hypertension and dyslipidemia were compared between each group. Twenty-seven GH positive adenomas (50.0%), 32 gonadotroph positive adenomas (59.3%), 28 TSH positive adenomas (51.9%) and 21 ACTH positive adenomas (38.9%) were identified. Evaluation of the preoperative clinical data showed 25 cases of obesity (46.2%), 16 cases of abnormal glucose tolerance (29.6%), 29 cases of hypertension (53.7%) and 35 cases of dyslipidemia (64.8%). The rate of hypertension was significantly lower in the GH positive group (37.0%) than the GH negative group (70.4%) (p = 0.0140). In the GH negative group, postoperative systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels were significantly lower than preoperative values. GH positive SPAs may affect the homeostasis of blood pressure. |
