  • Title: TSH-secreting pituitary macroadenoma: rapid tumor shrinkage and recovery from hyperthyroidism with octreotide.
    Author: Fischler MP, Reinhart WH.
    Journal: J Endocrinol Invest; 1999 Jan; 22(1):64-5. PubMed ID: 10090139.
    Abstract:
    A 44-year-old man with atrial fibrillation caused by hyperthyroidism is described. The underlying disease was a TSH-secreting macroadenoma of the pituitary. Treatment with the somatostatin analog octreotide eliminated hyperthyroidism and atrial fibrillation within 4 days and the tumor size diminished substantially within 3 weeks.
