Craniopharyngioma with hyperprolactinaemia due to a prolactinoma

T Wheatley et al. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 1986 Nov.

Abstract

A case is presented in which a histologically proven prolactin secreting pituitary macroadenoma was associated with a large suprasellar craniopharyngioma. The pre-operative prolactin concentration was 8180 mU/l. Although hyperprolactinaemia up to 3000 mU/l in patients with a craniopharyngioma is usually due to stalk compression, greater values may indicate an associated prolactinoma.
