  • Title: Spontaneous regression of prolactin-producing pituitary adenomas.
    Author: Vaughn TC, Haney AF, Wiebe RH, Kramer RS, Hammond CB.
    Journal: Am J Obstet Gynecol; 1980 Apr 15; 136(8):980-2. PubMed ID: 7189326.
    Abstract:
    Two women evaluated for amenorrhea, galactorrhea, and hyperprolactinemia had radiographic changes of the sella turcica (localized erosion on trispiral tomography) suggestive of a pituitary tumor. Both patients experienced spontaneous regression of apparent prolactin-secreting adenomas with a marked decrease in the quantity of galactorrhea and a reduction of serum prolactin concentrations to the normal range. One patient noted a marked improvement of headaches and spontaneous menses resumed in the other patient.
