    Description: An adenoma is a benign tumor (-oma) of glandular origin. Adenomas can grow frommany organs including the colon, adrenal glands, pituitary gland, thyroid, prostate, etc.Although these growths are benign, over time they may progress to become malignant, atwhich point they are called adenocarcinomas. Even while benign, they have the potentialto cause serious health complications by compressing other structures (mass effect) andby producing large amounts of hormones in an unregulated, non-feedback-dependentmanner (paraneoplastic syndrome).
