LOS ANGELES (AP) -- World and Olympic figure skating champion Scott Hamilton has a benign brain tumor.

The 46-year-old Hamilton underwent a biopsy at The Cleveland Clinic, and doctors expected to release him from the hospital by Friday, publicist Michael Sterling said Thursday.

"We will be working with him on a treatment plan moving forward," said Dr. Gene Barnett, chairman of the clinic's brain tumor institute.

Barnett said Hamilton has a slow-growing, non-cancerous tumor in the region of the pituitary gland.

Sterling said Hamilton has been had problems in recent weeks with his eyesight.

Hamilton, who lives in Los Angeles, is a four-time U.S. national champion, a four-time world champion and the 1984 Olympic gold medalist.

He is now a skating show producer. He was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1997 and treated with surgery and chemotherapy.

Oh man. That is awful. Even though it is benign, it could cause problems. I wish the best for him and his wife and son. I have been a fan of Scott's for a long time. Thanks for posting this Nathan.

That is terrible. I had the pleasure of meeting Scott last year at the Entrepreneurship conference when he donated quite a bit of money to the university. He was a great speaker and was even nicer in person.

God bless him and best of luck to him!
