Computed tomographic appearances and clinical features of prolactin-secreting pituitary adenomas in young male patients.
Prolactin-secreting adenomas, the commonest of the pituitary tumours, are being recognised with increasing frequency in men. Their appearance and behaviour differ from those occurring in women, being typically larger and more aggressive. We describe the clinical features and radiological findings of three prolactinomas in young males and review the literature.
