Signs and Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Carcinoid Tumors If the tumor starts in the small intestine, it can cause the intestines to kink and be blocked for a while. This can cause cramps, belly pain, weight loss, fatigue, bloating, diarrhea, or nausea and vomiting, which might come and go. This can sometimes go on for years before the carcinoid tumor is found.

- Adrenal cancer symptoms The adrenal glands are a production center for regulatory hormones such as adrenaline and cortisone. For this reason, many of the symptoms of adrenal cancer are related to hormonal imbalances resulting from tumors secreting too much or too little of a particular hormone. A large percentage of tumors on the adrenal glands are benign. These tumors may grow very large and put pressure on nearby organs like the stomach, but they do not spread to other parts of the body. In such cases, patients may experience a feeling of fullness and unexplained weight loss.

Non-Functioning Tumors (Endocrine-Inactive Tumors) Occasionally, they grow quite large and into the cavernous sinus causing nerve compression and double vision. Some patients with large tumors may have acute hemorrhage into the tumor (pituitary apoplexy) causing relatively sudden onset of headache, visual loss, double vision, and/or pituitary failure. Endocrine-inactive adenomas may also be discovered incidentally during an evaluation for another problem, such as a head injury.

Signs and Symptoms of Pituitary Tumors Symptoms from functional adenomas are described below, based on which hormone they secrete. Tumors that aren’t making excess hormones often become large (macroadenomas) before they are noticed. These tumors cause symptoms when they press on nearby nerves, parts of the brain, or other parts of the pituitary.

ENDOCRINE TUMORS OF THE ABDOMEN Endocrine tumors can be benign or grow as cancers. Often this distinction between cancer and not cancer is very difficult even after removal of the tumors. In some patients removal of what was thought to be a benign growth may come back as a cancerous recurrence.hat are endocrine tumors. Endocrine tumors are abnormal growths in endocrine glands. Since endocrine glands produce hormones, tumors of endocrine glands also produce hormones.

Symptoms of hypothyroidism include cold intolerance, weight gain, fatigue, anemia, difficulty concentrating, amenorrhea, bradycardia (low heart rate) and goitre.n endocrine bone disease is a bone disease associated with a disorder of the endocrine system. An example is osteitis fibrosa cystica.

Lung Cancer Many carcinoid tumors produce a hormone called serotonin, which can lead to a variety of symptoms known as carcinoid syndrome. One or more of the following symptoms may indicate carcinoid syndrome: 1  facial flushing. 2  diarrhea. 3  abdominal pain (caused by blockage of the intestines). 4  shortness of breath or wheezing. 5  fatigue.

Overview Symptoms related to hormone level changes. Functioning pituitary tumors cause an overproduction of hormones. Different types of functioning tumors in your pituitary gland cause specific signs and symptoms and sometimes a combination of them. Large tumors could cause hormonal deficiencies.

Pituitary Tumors Symptoms and Diagnosis. A tumor in the pituitary gland causes symptoms by either releasing too much of a hormone or by pressing on the gland causing it to release too little hormone. A pituitary tumor may also cause symptoms by growing and pressing on the structures, like the nerves to the eyes, surrounding the gland.

- Cushing’s Syndrome. Common symptoms of Cushing’s syndrome (due to an adrenal, pituitary, or ectopic tumor) can include: 1  Upper body obesity, round face and neck, and thinning arms and legs.  Skin problems, such as acne or reddish-blue streaks on the abdomen or underarm area.

Acromegaly This tumor is not cancer. Because of the tumor, your body makes too much growth hormone. Once in a while, tumors in the pancreas, liver, or parts of the brain can cause high levels of growth hormone. That leads to higher levels of another hormone, called insulin-like growth hormone, which causes the symptoms you see.

Signs and Symptoms of Pituitary Tumors Not all pituitary tumors cause symptoms. But when they do, they can cause many different types of symptoms. The first symptoms often depend on whether the tumor is functional (releasing excess hormones) or non-functional (not releasing excess hormones).ymptoms from functional adenomas are described below, based on which hormone they secrete. Tumors that aren’t making excess hormones often become large (macroadenomas) before they are noticed. These tumors cause symptoms when they press on nearby nerves, parts of the brain, or other parts of the pituitary.

Types Of Endocrine Diseases Adrenal insufficiency: This occurs when the adrenal glands produce too little of the aldosterone and cortisol hormones. Common symproms of these types of endocrine diseases include skin changes, dehydration, stomach upset, and fatigue. One very good example of this type of disease is addison’s disease. Cushing’s disease: This leads to excessive activity of the adrenal gland which is caused by too much production of the pituitary glands.
