Pituitary adenomas are often diagnosed as incidental findings on brain imaging. We present the case of a 52-year-old African American female patient with long standing depressed mood prior to the incidental finding of a pituitary adenoma. We explore the possibility of certain mood symptoms prompting an early diagnosis of pituitary adenoma.
垂体腺瘤常作为脑部影像学检查的偶然发现而被诊断出来。我们报告了一例52岁的非裔美国女性患者，在偶然发现垂体腺瘤之前，她长期情绪低落。我们探讨了某些情绪症状促使垂体腺瘤早期诊断的可能性。
