A 13-year-old girl with poor weight gain and pubertal delay was referred for hyperthyroidism. Slightly elevated levels of circulating thyroid hormones failed to suppress circulating thyrotropin (TSH) levels. Despite appropriate thyrotropin-releasing hormone stimulation of TSH secretion, a thyrotropin-secreting pituitary adenoma was identified as the cause of inappropriate TSH secretion.
一名体重增加缓慢且青春期延迟的13岁女孩因甲状腺功能亢进前来就诊。循环甲状腺激素水平略有升高,但未能抑制循环促甲状腺激素(TSH)水平。尽管促甲状腺激素释放激素对TSH分泌有适当刺激作用,但仍发现促甲状腺激素分泌型垂体腺瘤是TSH分泌异常的原因。
