  abstract = {A 23-year-old woman presented to clinic with a large pituitary adenoma and coexisting hyperprolactinaemia. Diagnoses, initially considered, included two possibilities: prolactinoma or nonfunctioning tumour with a pituitary stalk disconnection. Diagnosis of prolactinoma was considered as the first possibility. Therefore, a trial with the dopamine agonist Bromocriptine was decided. Serum prolactin levels decreased and significant tumour shrinkage was obtained. Bromocriptine was discontinued when the patient became pregnant. Surprisingly, tumour enlargement did not occur. The residual adenoma remained stable for six years after delivery.  Surgical intervention was neither needed during pregnancy nor after a long follow-up period. This clinical presentation was consistent with a final diagnosis of nonfunctioning pituitary macroadenoma with an extraordinary response to Bromocriptine treatment.},
