Article Synopsis
- Tumors that produce thyrotropin hormone (TSH) are rare, making up 1-3% of pituitary adenomas, often diagnosed in younger adults.
- In a case study, a 44-year-old woman was diagnosed with a thyrotropinoma six years after showing isolated elevated TSH levels but normal thyroid hormones, leading to the use of β-blockers for tachycardia.
- After identifying a 4 mm pituitary microadenoma via MRI, she underwent surgery, resulting in no recurrence of the adenoma but the development of secondary hypothyroidism, for which she now takes a lower dose of levothyroxine.
