Subarachnoid metastases from a prolactinoma.
A 37-year-old man developed a left frontal metastasis from a prolactin-secreting pituitary tumour, which had been operated on nine years before. The metastatic tumour was totally excised. One and a half years later he was found to have multiple left temporal and parietal subarachnoid metastases. Because treatment with bromocriptine for five months and subsequent radiation proved ineffective, the tumour nodules were removed surgically.
