title: Hyperprolactinemia in two patients with eating disorders.
abstract: Two eating disorder patients with hyperprolactinemia, attributed in the first to a prolactin-secreting pituitary macroadenoma and in the second to a microprolactinoma, are described. The findings suggest that prolactin level measurements may be indicated in eating disorder patients who have a history of atypical symptoms and/or menstrual disturbances that are unrelated to weight loss.
