A 23-year-old man presented with galactorrhea and elevated prolactin levels in 1997. The patient was treated with bromocriptine. Serial MRI scans showed a slowly increasing lesion of the left anterior portion of the adenohypophysis, measuring 5X8X8mm at the most recent scan. The prolactin level had recently been increasing from the 50-60 range to 160. The patient had no other endocrine abnormalities.
