A pair of these pea-sized glands sits next to the thyroid on either side of the front of the neck. | | • | Pituitary Tumors When tumors develop within the pituitary gland, they are usually small, well-localized, slow-growing masses that arise from one specific family of hormone-producing pituitary cells. | | • | Retinoblastoma Retinoblastoma is a form of cancer that develops on the retina. Although rare, retinoblastoma is the most common eye tumor in children. | | • | Salivary Gland Disorders The salivary glands are structures that manufacture saliva and secrete it into the mouth.
