Lactotroph pituitary adenomas (prolactinomas, PRLomas) are the most common form of functioning pituitary tumour. The vast majority can be managed successfully by means of medical (dopamine agonist) therapy; only a small minority require second-line therapy of surgical resection with or without adjunctive radiation. PRLomas occur in adolescent patients, but are unusual. Using a combination of illustrative case presentations and selective reference to informative publications, this talk will explore clinical differences in the assessment and treatment of PRLomas in adolescent patients.
