Cystic giant prolactinoma in childhood.
J Clin Neurosci. 2008 Jan; 15(1):76-9.JC

Abstract

In childhood and adolescence, pituitary adenomas are rare and half are prolactinomas. However, cystic giant prolactinoma in prepuberty is extremely rare. In this report, we present a 10-year-old boy with a cystic giant prolactinoma who was treated with two-stage surgery as the tumor was dumbbell shaped. To our knowledge, this is the second reported case of a cystic giant prolactinoma in a prepubertal child.
