[Longitudinal study of 18 cases of prolactin adenoma. Therapeutic results (author's transl)]. 1978

J L de Gennes, and G Turpin, and H M Heshmati, and E Cesselin, and M Lagoguey

Complete endocrinological studies were made before and after surgery in 18 cases of prolactin adenoma (2 giant adenomas and 16 macro-adenomas). Certain points are stressed: the frequency of the haemorrhagic nature of the adenoma in 4 cases, including 1 case of spontaneous necrosis; the great variability in dynamic responses to the TRH stimulation test or inhibition by I-Dopa; the persistence in 14 cases out of 16 of postoperative hyperproclactinaemia, requiring the prescription of 5 to 10 mg/day of bromocriptine, rarely more; the disappearance of total impotence in two male cases as a result of the latter drug, whilst testerone and dihydrotestosterone levels were normal before the beginning of medical treatment.

D010911 Pituitary Neoplasms Neoplasms which arise from or metastasize to the PITUITARY GLAND. The majority of pituitary neoplasms are adenomas, which are divided into non-secreting and secreting forms. Hormone producing forms are further classified by the type of hormone they secrete. Pituitary adenomas may also be characterized by their staining properties (see ADENOMA, BASOPHIL; ADENOMA, ACIDOPHIL; and ADENOMA, CHROMOPHOBE). Pituitary tumors may compress adjacent structures, including the HYPOTHALAMUS, several CRANIAL NERVES, and the OPTIC CHIASM. Chiasmal compression may result in bitemporal HEMIANOPSIA.

D011388 Prolactin A lactogenic hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). It is a polypeptide of approximately 23 kD. Besides its major action on lactation, in some species prolactin exerts effects on reproduction, maternal behavior, fat metabolism, immunomodulation and osmoregulation. Prolactin receptors are present in the mammary gland, hypothalamus, liver, ovary, testis, and prostate.
