The Pituitary"Incidentaloma"
Ann Int Med 112:925-931, Molitch,M.E.&Russell,E.J., 1990
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
For adenomas found to be hypersecreting,therapy is as indicated for that specific tumor type.If there is no evidence of hormone oversecretion from microadenomas,we suggest a conservative approach with repeat scanning done at yearly intervals,initially,and subsequently less frequently. Macroadenomas,because they have already indicated some propensity for growth,should either be surgically removed or,if completely asymptomatic, followed closely with repeat scans at 6-to 12-month intervals.
