[A rare psychogenic anejaculation. Report of a case of prolactin adenoma].

Published: June 1992

The authors report a case of prolactinoma discovered during assessment of a case of ejaculation failure attributed for more than eight years to a psychogenic cause. Because of the size of the tumour, surgical resection of the lesion left a persistent hyperprolactinaemia, which only returned to normal after treatment with bromocriptine. The persistence of sexual disorders justified adjuvant treatment with exogenous testosterone. Despite the unusual mode of presentation of hyperprolactinaemia, these data correspond to those reported in the literature. Prolactin assay should therefore be performed in any case of male sexual dysfunction to allow the early diagnosis of prolactinoma and to improve the functional prognosis.
