[Prolactin-secreting macroadenoma in an adolescent girl: response to the medical treatment and follow-up method].
The authors report the case of a 14 year-old-girl presenting with a prolactin-secreting pituitary macroadenoma and followed over one year of bromocriptine therapy. They focus on the specific clinical features, on the medical management as initial therapy at this age, and on the interest of magnetic resonance imaging and spontaneous hormonal secretion studies for the diagnosis and follow-up.
