Abstract

Four giant prolactin-secreting tumours invading the skull base are described. All of them occurred in men. The presenting features were sufficiently diverse to be clinically misleading. We advocate the estimation of prolactin levels before embarking on complicated skull base surgery in men where doubt remains regarding the diagnosis after clinical and radiological study.

摘要

本文描述了4例侵犯颅底的巨大催乳素分泌性肿瘤。所有病例均发生于男性。其临床表现多种多样，足以造成临床误诊。对于男性患者，若经临床和影像学检查后诊断仍存疑问，我们建议在开展复杂的颅底手术前检测催乳素水平。
