Successful debulking of plurihormonal pituitary macroadenoma with long‐acting pasireotide and dopamine agonist combination therapy

Abstract

Key Clinical Message Long‐acting pasireotide and bromocriptine provided biochemical control of growth hormone and prolactin in a patient with plurihormonal pituitary macroadenoma, allowing near‐complete tumor excision while restoring pituitary function and avoiding adjunctive radiotherapy. Pasireotide initiation resulted in hyperglycemia, which stabilized after a few months and resolved upon pasireotide discontinuation (ACCESS; NCT01995734).
