  • Title: Prolactinoma with preferential infrasellar extension: a report of two cases.
    Author: Nishio S, Morioka T, Fujiwara S, Fukui M.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2001 May; 8(3):287-9. PubMed ID: 11386812.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe two male patients with prolactinomas which were incidentally found either during the course of a complete work up for headache or after minor head trauma. Since these tumours were located mainly in the sphenoid bone and did not show any upward growth to the suprasellar region, they were initially thought to be a primary skull base tumour; however, the serum prolactin levels of these patients were 1,179 ng/ml and 3,260 ng/ml, respectively. The authors thus emphasise the need to recognise this peculiar infrasellar growth pattern of prolactinoma.
