Symptoms

What is Adenoma?

A benign (non-cancerous) tumor arising in the glandular tissue is referred to as adenoma. These growths can develop in numerous organs-mostly colon (polyps-like) or the pituitary gland of the brain. Even though the adenoma is not cancerous, there are types of adenoma that can develop a malignancy with time in case they are not removed.

Common Symptoms

The adenomas at the early stage can be asymptomatic. As they grow, you may notice:

  • Abdominal fullness or pains in the breast
  • Change in bowel habits (constipation or diarrhea)
  • Blood in the stool
  • Giant cell pituitary adenoma Headaches or change in vision of eyes (with pituitary adenomas)
  • Unexplainable (hormone-related) weight gain, fatness or mood change

Causes

It is not known why it occurs, but in a number of cases, there are some factors, which predetermine the occurrence of adenoma:

  • Family history Polyps or adenoma or hereditary genetic mutations
  • Persistent cholecystitis of the digestive tract
  • Age over 50
  • Cigarette smoking, alcoholism, and unhealthy eating
  • Hereditary-induced diseases, such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP)
