Pituitary incidentaloma.
All patients with pituitary incidentaloma should be investigated for pituitary hyperfunction. The single most important test is measurement of serum prolactin (PRL). Elevated PRL can indicate either direct tumour secretion (levels are typically 800–2,000 mU/l for microprolactinoma, >2,000 mU/l for macroprolactinoma and <600 normally) or ‘disconnection’ of the hypothalamus and normal pituitary g...
