A '''prolactinoma''' is a [[benign]] [[tumor]] ([[adenoma]]) of the '''[[pituitary gland]]''' that produces a [[hormone]] called [[prolactin]]. It is the most common type of [[pituitary tumor]].  Symptoms of prolactinoma are caused by too much prolactin in the blood ([[hyperprolactinemia]]) or by pressure of the tumor on surrounding tissues.
There are no established causes of [[prolactinoma]]. Most cases of [[prolactinoma]] are sporadic. [[Prolactinoma]] may occur in approximately 30% of [[multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1]] patients. It may also occur with [[Carney complex]] or [[McCune-Albright syndrome]].

Overview

There are no established causes of prolactinoma. Most cases of prolactinoma are sporadic. Prolactinoma may occur in approximately 30% of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 patients. It may also occur with Carney complex or McCune-Albright syndrome.
