Hi, My Daughter, Who Was Diagnosed With Polychondritis And Mixed

Hi,

My daughter, who was diagnosed with polychondritis and mixed connective tissue disorder this past summer, has just been told that she also has hypothyroid and hypopituitary. Her doctor told her that 90% of hypopituitarism is caused by brain tumors. (A scan is forthcoming) Is that right?
