Not to be confused with Hypopituitarism.
Hyperpituitarism is a condition due to the primary hypersecretion of pituitary hormones;[3][medical citation needed] it typically results from a pituitary adenoma. In children with hyperpituitarism, disruption of growth regulation is rare, either because of hormone hypersecretion or because of manifestations caused by local compression of the adenoma.[2]
