title: [Irradiation of TSH-secreting hypophyseal adenomas].
abstract: Hypophyseal adenomas secreting TSH are very rare. In dependence on local symptoms, internal-endocrinological, neurosurgical, or radiotherapeutical treatment approaches are applied alone or in combination. A case of radiotherapy alone is presented which was performed successfully in a patient with TSH secreting hypophyseal adenoma. This case is compared with the rates of success of other therapy modalities by means of a detailed literature survey.
