The present invention aims to provide a method for efficiently producing a cell mass containing pituitary tissue from pluripotent stem cells. A method for producing a cell mass containing pituitary tissue, including the following steps (1) and (2):(1) a first step of suspension-culturing pluripotent stem cells to form a cell aggregate in the presence of a Wnt signal transduction pathway inhibiting substance,(2) a second step of suspension-culturing the aggregate obtained in the first step in the presence of a BMP signal transduction pathway activating substance and a Sonic hedgehog signal transduction pathway activating substance, thereby obtaining a cell mass comprising pituitary tissue.
