One case of primary hypothyroidism with hyperplasia of the pituitary gland was reported. This enlargement was decreased after hormone replacement therapy. Pituitary hyperplasia occurs secondarily to primary endocrine gland failure. Reactive enlargement of the pituitary gland must be differentiated from primary pituitary abnormalities in order to avoid unnecessary surgery.
