Euthyroid means "having a normal thyroid" and/or having "normal" or "in range" thyroid test results.

I'm guessing that eupituitary means "having a normal pituitary" and/or having "normal" or "in range" pituitary test results.

I would think that if euthyroid means normal thyroid then epituitary could mean normal pituitary. I'm not 100% sure but it makes sense. Was this to do with a pituitary scan/investigation?

Just Googled this: The prefix (eu-) means good, well, pleasant or true. It is derived from the Greek eu meaning well and eus meaning good.
