Hyperprolactinemia must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [[virilization]] and [[hirsutism]] in female. The differentials include 21-hydroxylase deficiency, 17-alpha hydroxylase deficiency, 11-β hydroxylase deficiency, 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency, polycystic ovary syndrome, adrenal tumors, ovarian virilizing tumors and cushing's syndrome .

Overview

Hyperprolactinemia must be differentiated from other diseases that cause virilization and hirsutism in female. The differentials include 21-hydroxylase deficiency, 17-alpha hydroxylase deficiency, 11-β hydroxylase deficiency, 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency, polycystic ovary syndrome, adrenal tumors, ovarian virilizing tumors and cushing's syndrome .

Differential Diagnosis

Hyperprolactinemia must be differentiated from diseases that cause virilization and hirsutism in female:[1][2][3]

Disease name Steroid status Other laboratory Important clinical findings
Non-classic type of 21-hydroxylase deficiency Increased:
  • No symptoms in infancy and male
11-β hydroxylase deficiency Increased:

Decreased:

3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency Increased:

Decreased:

Polycystic ovary syndrome
Adrenal tumors
  • Variable levels depends on tumor type
  • Older age
  • Rapidly progressive symptoms
Ovarian virilizing tumor
  • Variable levels depends on tumor type
  • Older age
  • Rapidly progressive symptoms
Cushing's syndrome
Hyperprolactinemia
