Dopaminergic resistance in a case of invasive macroprolactinoma.
Invasive prolactinoma is a relatively infrequent variety of macroprolactinoma characterized by a fast and aggressive growth, with infiltration to adjacent structures, and whose management is frequently difficult. We present the case of a fatal invasive macroprolactinoma in whom resistance to different dopaminergic drugs developed.
