Abstract

There has been a recent, rapid increase in the number of pituitary adenomas diagnosed in women of childbearing age in Olmsted County, Minnesota. The incidence rates in men of all ages and in women aged 45 and over have remained stable and are similar to rates reported from elsewhere. Since 1970 the mean annual incidence per 100,000 women aged 15 through 44 years has been 7.1, whereas it was 0.7 in the population of the same age and sex during the period 1935 through 1969.
