ABSTRACT
We report a 45 years old female that consulted for amenorrhea and galactorrhea after discontinuing oral contraceptives, that she used for several years. The patient had hyperprolactinemia, a hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism and a primary hypothyroidism. Sella turcica magnetic resonance showed a pituitary macroadenoma with a diameter of 23 mm and supraselar extension. The patient was subjected to a transsphenoidal excision of the tumor with good clinical and surgical results. Therefore radiotherapy was not used for the treatment of the tumor.
