Prolactinoma in wall of ovarian dermoid cyst with hyperprolactinemia.
A 41-year-old woman with long-standing amenorrhea and hyperprolactinemia that disappeared after hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was found to have a prolactinoma in the wall of a dermoid cyst. Prolactin was demonstrated in the tumor cells by immunohistochemical staining.
