Clinical diagnosis and management of prolactinoma / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

Prolactinoma is the most common adenoma of pituitary gland, which causes hyperprolactinemia. Differential diagnosis for hyperprolactinemia may sometimes become difficult. The stimulating test with metoclopramide or thyrotropin-releasing hormone helps. Bromocriptine is the first choice to treat prolactinoma. Other medicaments, surgery and radiation are also of choice under certain particular conditions.
