[Functional morphology and prognosis of hormonally-active pituitary adenomas]. / Funktsional'naia morfologiia i prognoz gormonal'no-aktivnykh adenom gipofiza.

This paper is a review of literature on the etiology, pathogenesis and morphogenesis (electron microscopy, immunocytochemistry) of pituitary adenomas (PA). Clinical manifestations of PA are considered depending on their structure. Approaches to the clinico-morphological classification of PA and factors of their prognosis are discussed.
