A non-functioning pituitary adenoma initially mimicking a microprolactinoma: The case for long-term follow-up of patients with mild hyperprolactinemia?
This case suggests that, to exclude the alternative diagnosis of nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma or another mass lesion of the hypothalamic-pituitary region, repeat neuroimaging studies during long-term follow-up may be advisable in patients with presumed microprolactinoma who did not show reduction of the tumor during dopaminergic therapy.
HIV/HCV-coinfected patients with previous SVR may develop HCC in the mid term and long term. These cases account for a significant proportion of the total cases of HCC in this setting. Our findings reinforce the need to continue surveillance of HCC with ultrasound examinations in patients with cirrhosis who respond to anti-HCV therapy.
