Sample MCQ #2
Most common pituitary tumour in clinical practice is:
AGH producing adenoma
BACTH producing adenoma
CFunctional adenoma
DNon-functional adenoma
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: C. Functional adenoma
Explanation: Among pituitary adenomas that present clinically, prolactin-secreting (prolactinomas) are the most common functioning tumours. Functioning adenomas (especially prolactinomas) produce hormonal syndromes that bring patients to clinical attention earlier. Non-functioning adenomas are also common (often present as macroadenomas with mass effect), but prolactinomas are the most common single subtype encountered in clinical practice. Explanation of other options: GH producing adenomas (Option A) : causes acromegaly; are less common than prolactinomas. ACTH adenomas (Option B ): causes Cushing's disease and are less common. Non-functional adenomas (Option D) : are common (often diagnosed by mass effect), but among clinical presenting tumours with endocrine features , functioning adenomas (especially prolactinomas) are the most common single type.

Sample MCQ #7
VIPoma is associated with which syndrome:
AZollinger Ellison
BVerner Morrison
CCarcinoid syndrome
DCushing's syndrome
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: B. Verner Morrison
Ans is 'b' i.e. Verner Morrison VlPomas are endocrine tumors that secrete excessive amounts of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), Excessive VIP causes a distinct syndrome characterized by large- volume diarrhea, hypokalemia, and dehydration. This syndrome also is called Verner-Morrison syndrome, pancreatic cholera, and WDHA syndrome for watery diarrhea, hypokalemia, and achlorhydria. The principal symptoms are large-volume diarrhea (100%) severe enough to cause hypokalemia (80-100%), dehydration (83%), hypochlorhydria (54-76%), and flushing (20%). In adults 80-90% of VlPomas are pancreatic in location, with the rest due to VIP-secreting pheochromocytomas,
