Re: Pituitary tumor and adrenal tumor - related??

[Guest guest]

do a pubmed search with pitutiary and adrenal tumor and let us know what you find. One of the MENs many have both. CE Grim MDOn Feb 8, 2012, at 9:10 AM, parkinsoniowa wrote: Just curious.... Has anyone been diagnosed with both a pituitary tumor and an adrenal tumor? Not necessarily at the same time. In my late twenties, about a year after childbirth, I was diagnosed with a prolactin producing pituitary tumor. Quite common, I believe. I was prescribed Parlodel which helped. I haven't had any further issues with this that I am aware of and have not taken medication for this for years. Then at age 39, I received the hyperaldosteronism diagnosis and had an adrenalectomy. I am now 46. I have often wondered if there is a connection between the two tumors. Did one cause the other? I'm sure I will never know. Just thought I'd see if anyone else has a history of having BOTH of these tumors. Thanks.
