A Case of Thyrotropin-Secreting Pituitary Adenoma (TSH-oma)
Thyrotropin-secreting pituitary adenomas (TSHomas) are rare tumors and represent about 1-2% of all pituitary adenomas (prevalence is about one case per million) and cause secondary or central hyperthyroidism. The number of reported cases of TSH-omas tripled in the last decade. The increased number of reported cases resulted principally from the introduction of ultrasensitive immunometric assay ...
متن کاملShort-term preoperative octreotide treatment for TSH-secreting pituitary adenoma.
Preoperative control of hyperthyroidism in patients with TSH-secreting pituitary adenomas (TSHoma) may avoid perioperative thyroid storm. Perioperative administration of octreotide may control hyperthyroidism, as well as shrink tumor size. The effects of preoperative octreotide treatment were assessed in a large number of patients with TSHomas. Of 81 patients who underwent surgery for TSHoma at...
متن کاملTSH-secreting pituitary adenoma: benefits of pre-operative octreotide
UNLABELLED TSH-secreting pituitary adenomas are rare and the optimal investigation and management is uncertain. We describe a case of a 43 year-old woman with a TSH-secreting pituitary adenoma, highlighting diagnostic testing and our use, pre-operatively of somatostatin analogue therapy, which induced biochemical euthyroidism and a reduction in tumour size. LEARNING POINTS The differential di...
متن کاملTSH-Secreting Pituitary Adenoma: Current Management and Review.
The neurosurgical literature contains little information about the current management of patients with thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)-secreting pituitary adenomas or about the usefulness of the somatostatin analogue octreotide in such cases. While TSH-secreting pituitary adenomas are rare, our review and illustrative case demonstrate the effectiveness of pretreating patients with octreotide ...
متن کاملGrowth of Pituitary Tumors Secreting TSH*
Destruction of the thyroid gland by I's' in mice is followed by the development of TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone)-secreting pituitary tumors (5, 11, 13). These tumors can at first be grafted only on mice similarly radiothyroidectomized and not on normal animals (5) ; thus, they are initially conditioned or dependent growths. The tumor cells gain autonomy in the course of passages, as mdi cat...
