Cavernous Haemangioma Of The Pituitary Gland Associated With Prolactin Cell Microadenoma Case Report And Review Of The Literature



Authors : Moumouni Abdelkader .

Abstract

The authors present a case of a 27-year-old female with a nine-month history ofamenorrhea and galactorrhea. Although the neurological examination was normal, biological assays showed a high level of prolactinemia (1425 μUI/ml). Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a small and well demarcated lesion of the pituitary gland. No enhancement was observed after gadolinium infusion. The patient was operated on and a complete resection was performed via a transphenoidal approach. Prolactin level returned to a normal level subsequently to surgery. Histological examination showed a prolactin cell microadenoma associated with a cavernous hemangioma. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a micro prolactinoma associated with a cryptic cavernous hemangioma.
