[Type I multiple endocrine neoplasia with prolactin-secreting tumor revealed by pituitary apoplexy (author's transl)].
Prolactin-secreting adenoma is probably the most common functional pituitary tumour in type I multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN I). The authors report on a case of gastrinoma and parathyroid adenoma associated with prolactinoma. The latter tumour was revealed by sudden pituitary apoplexy. The characteristic features of endocrine tumours in MEN 1 are discussed, and the relevant literature is reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the fact that prolactinomas are well tolerated, remain clinically silent for a long time and may be diagnosed only when dramatic symptoms suddenly appear.
