Plurihormonal Pituitary adenoma is defined as an adenoma that expresses more than one hormone on immunohistochemistry. The most common combination in these adenomas includes growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL). We describe an interesting case of plurihormonal pituitary adenoma with double hormonal staining for adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and GH in a patient who presented with acromegaly and subtle signs of Cushing disease due to a large pituitary macroadenoma
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
