  schema:description "A thyrotroph tumour is a very rare pituitary tumour that secretes TSH, driving the thyroid to overactivity with a TSH level that is not suppressed. It is often mistaken for common hyperthyroidism and wrongly treated by destroying the thyroid, which makes the pituitary tumour grow. Surgery is the treatment of choice; somatostatin analogues control most of the rest."@en ;
