Article Synopsis
- A rare case of pituitary thyrotroph hyperplasia with hyperprolactinemia was observed in a 32-year-old woman, showing symptoms like galactorrhea and amenorrhea due to hypothyroidism.* -
- Diagnosis included elevated serum prolactin levels and an MRI revealing an enlarged pituitary gland, leading to a referral for potential pituitary surgery.* -
- The patient was treated with levothyroxine, resulting in normalized prolactin levels, cessation of galactorrhea, restored menstrual cycles, and ultimately conception, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis over surgery.*
