Zusammenfassung

Functioning pituitary adenomas (FPAs) are the most common pituitary lesions. They represent approximately 15% of all intracranial neoplasms, with prolactinomas accounting for 60% of FPAs. Its clinical manifestations are related to hypersecretion and/or local symptoms due to the tumor's mass effect, such as headache, visual disturbances, and/or hypopituitarism. The main clinical syndromes associated with pituitary hyperfunction include hyperprolactinemia with secondary hypogonadism, acromegaly, Cushing's syndrome, and secondary hyperthyroidism. Diagnosing FPA involves demonstrating an excess in hormone secretion through biochemical tests followed by imaging tests to localize the tumor. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast is the test of choice for this purpose. In regard to treatment, surgery is the first-line option for most FPAs except for prolactinomas, which usually respond well to dopamine agonists.
