Two normal individuals (healthy volunteer) and one patient with pituitary adenoma were evaluated with estrogenic complex 131-I for pituitary scan. All of them receive 400 muCi of the radionuclide orally. The study was performed 24 hs. after the ingestion of the drug. The results obtained with this method were so encouraging: one side, any toxic reaction was detected through a period of three months, clinical nor laboratory; other side, we visualized directly and in an no invasive form, the pituitary gland with only one dose of the drug administered orally. It is necessary more investigation for a good evaluation of this.
