Evaluation of the antiangiogenic effects of octreotide on growth hormone-producing pituitary adenoma using arterial spin-labeling perfusion imaging.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Decreased absolute tumor blood flow (TBF) measured by arterial spin labeling perfusion imaging (ASL-PI) on 3-tesla magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated the reduced size and growth hormone (GH) secretion of a large GH-producing pituitary adenoma in a 32-year-old man in response to octreotide therapy. The study shows the usefulness of ASL-PI in providing a biomarker of the antiangiogenic effect of octreotide.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The usefulness of arterial spin-labeling for the evaluation of the effect of the antiangiogenic therapy has not been elucidated. Our aim was to evaluate the antiangiogenic effect of bevacizumab in a rat glioblastoma model based on arterial spin-labeling perfusion MR imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS DSC and arterial spin-labeling perfusion MR imaging were performed by usin...

Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) secreting pituitary adenomas are rare tumors manifested as hyperthyroidism with goiter in the presence of elevated TSH. We present a case with pituitary adenoma secreting both TSH and growth hormone (GH) with the prominent clinical findings of hyperthyroidism but without clinical findings of acromegaly. Pituitary magnetic resonance imaging revealed a macroadeno...

PURPOSE To compare the changes in tumor volume with length of octreotide treatment in patients with acromegaly, to analyze signal alterations of the pituitary mass during treatment, and to determine an optimal MR imaging protocol. METHODS Eighteen patients with growth hormone (GH)-secreting pituitary adenomas were studied with MR imaging before and during octreotide treatment. The length of f...
متن کاملThyroid storm induced by TSH-secreting pituitary adenoma: a case report.
Thyroid stimulating hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas (TSHomas) are uncommon tumors of the anterior pituitary gland. Patients with TSHomas may present with hyperthyroidism, but the incidence of thyroid storm due to TSHomas has yet to be determined. We report a rare case of thyroid storm caused by TSHoma in a 54-year-old woman. Preoperatively she had symptoms of excessive sweating and palpita...

A presumptive diagnosis of a thyrotropin and growth hormone co-secreting pituitary adenoma was made. Octreotide LAR therapy was advised preoperatively to control thyroid hormone excess. He underwent transsphenoidal resection of the sellar mass, which was consist...
