Pituitary hyperplasia is commonly present but remains largely undiagnosed in primary hypothyroidism. It is easily reversible with thyroid replacement therapy. If imaging is performed prior to biochemical evaluation, then patients may undergo pituitary surgery. We present the case of a 34-year-old female with profound primary hypothyroidism and secondary pituitary hyperplasia that resolved after thyroid hormone supplementation. We will discuss the current literature regarding pituitary hyperplasia in primary hypothyroidism in adults.
垂体增生在原发性甲状腺功能减退症中很常见，但大多未被诊断出来。通过甲状腺替代治疗很容易逆转。如果在进行生化评估之前进行影像学检查，那么患者可能会接受垂体手术。我们报告一例34岁女性，患有严重的原发性甲状腺功能减退症和继发性垂体增生，补充甲状腺激素后病情得到缓解。我们将讨论目前关于成人原发性甲状腺功能减退症中垂体增生的文献。
