[Hyperprolactinemia: unusual association between peripheral hypothyroidism and microprolactinoma].

We report a rare case of hyperprolactinemia revealing the association between peripheral hypothyroidism and prolactin pituitary macroadenomas. The patient was a 43-year old woman, presenting with spontaneous bilateral galactorrhea over a period of 1 year. Hyperprolactinemia was confirmed and etiologic investigation revealed peripheral hypothyroidism secondary to autoimmune thyroiditis.
