Also known as PITUITARY ADENOMA, PROLACTIN-SECRETING, Prolactinoma of Pituitary gland, familial prolactinoma, Prolactinoma, Familial, Prolactin Producing Pituitary Adenoma, Prolactin Secreting Pituitary Gland Adenoma, PRL-secreting pituitary adenoma, Prolactin Producing Adenoma of the Pituitary
A prolactinoma is a tumor (adenoma) of the pituitary gland that produces the hormone prolactin. It is the most common type of functioning pituitary tumor. Symptoms of prolactinoma are due to abnormally high levels of prolactin in the blood (hyperprolactinemia), or due to pressure of the tumor on surrounding brain tissue and/or the optic nerves. Based on its size, a prolactinoma may be classified as a microprolactinoma (10mm diameter).
