Pituitary adenomas account for 10 to 15% of all intracranial masses and are the most common type of pituitary disorder. Their clinical manifestations can vary based on the tumor size and whether they secrete excess hormones. Occasionally, they are incidentally diagnosed following an imaging procedure for other indications (pituitary incidentaloma). The Pituitary Working Group of the Indonesian Society of Endocrinology has identified pituitary adenoma as a priority and has called for the development of updated evidence-based practice guidelines. These guidelines aim to provide evidence-based, comprehensive and multidisciplinary recommendations for diagnosing pituitary adenomas in Indonesia and to navigate the limitations of diagnosing pituitary adenomas in Indonesia.
