Hypophysitis refers to an inflammation of the pituitary gland. Hypophysitis is rare and not fully understood. Hypophysitis is commonly known as Lymphocytic Hypophysitis because the lymphocytic infiltration was limited to the anterior pituitary.〔http://pituitaryadenomas.com/lymphoidhypophysitis.htm〕 ==Signs and symptoms==
Hypophysitis, being a fairly newly discovered disease, there are four categories of symptoms and sign. Most commonly, the initial symptoms are headaches and visual disturbances. Some symptoms are derived from the lesser functioning of the adenohypophyseal hormones. Of the adenohypophyseal hormones, the most frequently affected are corticotropes, lactotropes and gonadotropes, all which are found in the anterior pituitary. Polyuria is also a common symptom – which results in too much dilute in the urine, as well as polydipsia which means having extreme thirst. Another symptom is hyperprolactinemia, which is when there are abnormally high prolactin levels in the blood. Usually, a mass will be found located on the sella turcica and loss of hormonal function.〔http://pathology2.jhu.edu/hypophysitis/symptoms.cfm〕
