Thyrotropin-producing adenoma: diagnostic challenges (Сase report)
https://doi.org/10.14341/ket20117268-73
Abstract
Pituitary thyrotropin-producing adenomas (TSH-omas) are rare tumors that cause hyperthyroidism. Failure to recognize this disease may result in dramatic consequences, such as improper thyroid ablation in patients with central hyperthyroidism. This article concerns the current issues of pathogenesis, diagnostics, differential diagnostics and treatment of TSH-omas. It also describes a case study of a young woman with thyrotropin-producing adenoma.
