متن کاملProlactin-secreting adenomas--surgical results.
The long-term follow-up of the transsphenoidal microsurgical treatment in 119 consecutively operated women with a PRL-secreting adenoma is presented. An apparent total removal of the tumor was achieved in 98 cases with an enclosed tumor (58 grade 1 and 40 grade II). In the remaining cases the removal was considered partial. The achievement of persistent normal PRL basal levels was verified in 6...
متن کاملSynchronous GH- and prolactin-secreting pituitary adenomas
UNLABELLED Pituitary adenomas are usually solitary lesions. Rarely, patients may present with two distinct pituitary tumors. We report a case of synchronous secretory pituitary adenomas in a woman who initially presented with elevated prolactin levels. She was initially treated with cabergoline, but, after many years, she began developing symptoms consistent with acromegaly. Imaging revealed tw...
متن کاملMR imaging of prolactin-secreting microadenomas.
Eight proven and three presumed prolactin-secreting microadenomas were studied with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. All 11 cases had CT evidence of a tumor. Technical factors for MR included use of 1.3-1.5 T MR systems, 3 mm slice thickness, short repetition time (TR) (T1-weighted) and long TR (T2-weighted) spin-echo pulse sequences. Six microadenomas were demonstrated with MR. Four tumors had...
