We present an interesting case of a cystic, pituitary adenoma that showed up insidiously with non-traditional clinical symptoms. The standard of care for non-functioning pituitary adenomas is transsphenoidal surgery. However, with pharmacotherapy using cabergoline (a dopamine receptor agonist), the patient had a near disappearance of the tumor. This case report seeks to add to the medical literature the possibility of pharmacotherapy for treating non-functional pituitary adenomas.
我们报告了一例有趣的囊性垂体腺瘤病例,该病例以非传统临床症状隐匿出现。无功能性垂体腺瘤的标准治疗方法是经蝶窦手术。然而,通过使用卡麦角林(一种多巴胺受体激动剂)进行药物治疗,患者的肿瘤几乎消失。本病例报告旨在为医学文献增添药物治疗无功能性垂体腺瘤的可能性。
