| Abstract: | Prolactin-secreting pituitary adenomas are the most common type of functional pituitary tumor. Bromocriptine therapy is an effective alternative to surgery in this group of patients. We report a case of prolactinoma where the patient was put on bromocriptine therapy and after 15 months of follow-up the tumor almost regressed giving an empty sella appearance. |
