Macroprolactinoma resistant to dopamine agonists: a case report

Macroprolactinomas are benign prolactin-secreting pituitary tumors, causing amenorrhea, galactorrhea and gonadal dysfunction. Clinical treatment with dopamine agonists is the first-choice therapy. Surgery is indicated for the rare cases that are resistant to clinical treatment, when there is intolerance to the medication, or intratumoral hemorrhage is detected. We describe the case of a female patient with macroprolactinoma submitted to two surgical procedures and resistant to clinical treatment, with unusual evolution.
