Adenoma is a type of non-cancerous tumor or benign that may affect various organs. It is derived from the word “adeno” meaning 'pertaining to a gland'.Every cell in the body has a tightly regulated system that dictates when it needs to grow, mature and eventually die off. Tumors and cancers occur when cells lose this control and divide and proliferate indiscriminately. An adenoma is a benign tumor originating in glandular tissue. The tissues affected are part of a larger tissue category known as epithelial tissues. Epithelial tissues line
Adenoma cells do not necessarily need to be part of a gland but may possess secretory properties. Adenomas are generally benign or non-cancerous but carry the potential to become adenocarcinomas which are malignant or cancerous. As benign growths they can grow in size to press upon the surrounding vital structures and leading to severe consequences.

    Large adenomas in vital hormone producing organs raise the hormones the organ produces leading to serious complications called Para neoplastic syndromes. Adenomas may affect various organs including:- Colon, Colons are the most common organs that are affected by adenomas. There may be detected on colonoscopy. A regular surveillance of colonic adenomas and preferable removal of these tumours is advised as they have a very high potential to become colon cancers.Pituitary Gland, These are seen as incidental findings in many individuals and generally respond well to surgical removal of the tumor. The commonest type is called prolactinoma. These are seen more commonly among women. Hormone therapies and therapy with Bromocriptine is advised
