Abstract:
The structural modifications to PRL-secreting pituitary adenomas induced by medical treatment with bromocryptine are described. Whereas the consistency of the tumour diminishes after a shgort period of treatment, making surgical removal easier, it increases after a long period (years) owing to interstitial fibrosis phenomena that impede surgical removal.
