Abstract:
Two endocrine active pituitary microadenomas were treated by transsphenoidal microsurgery and evaluated endocrinologically by radioimmunoassay of hormones. They showed significant rise of serum human growth hormone(HGH) after thyrotrophine releasing hormone(TRH) administration and no suppression by oral glucose tolerance test(GTT) before operation. Pathologic findings are acidophilic adenomas.
