Where is acromagaly tumor found in the brain?
Acromegaly is typically caused by a benign tumor in the pituitary gland of the brain. This tumor leads to the overproduction of growth hormone, resulting in symptoms such as abnormal growth of bones and tissues.
What might abnormal prolactin levels show?
Increased prolactin levels are found in galactorrhea, amenorrhea, prolactin-secreting pituitary tumor, infiltrative diseases of the hypothalamus, and metastatic cancer of the pituitary gland.
What is the most common cause of acromegaly?
the development of a noncancerous tumor within the pituitary, called a pituitary adenoma. These tumors are the source of the abnormal release of GH. As these tumors grow, they may press on nearby structures within the brain,
What condition is characterized by the enlargement of the hands and feet resulting from the pituitary gland producing too much growth hormone after puberty?
Marfan's syndrome is characterized by acromegaly (abnormal enlargement of the hands and feet after puberty)Acromegaly is the name of the condition resulting from too much growth hormone release in adulthood. It results in abnormal growth of the bones and pronounced soft tissue. This results in a fairly proto-typical appearance of a large, bulging forehead, prominent cheekbones, a pronounced mandibular line and abnormally large hands and feet, in addition to other abnormalities. The vast majority of people with acromegaly are found to have a growth hormone secreting pituitary adenoma.

What is the medical term meaning abnormal condition of meiosis?
The medical term for an abnormal condition of meiosis is meiotic non-disjunction, which refers to the failure of chromosomes to separate properly during meiosis, resulting in an abnormal number of chromosomes in the resulting gametes. This can lead to conditions such as Down syndrome.
What development leads to abnormal production of breast milk?
Any condition that upsets the balance of hormones in the blood or the production of hormones by the pituitary gland or sexual organs can stimulate the production of prolactin.
What process is responsible for abnormal karyotypes?
Abnormal karyotypes can result from processes such as chromosomal mutations, errors during meiosis or mitosis, exposure to mutagens, or genetic disorders. These processes can lead to changes in chromosome number (aneuploidy) or structure (translocations, deletions, duplications), resulting in abnormal karyotypes.
