A member asked:
Any other possible diagnosis aside from "ill-defined microadenoma" for heterogeneous enhancement on right side of pituitary gland of about 6mm by 7m?

Prolactinoma: Your information says you have a prolactinoma and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. This MRI reading is consistent with a small prolactinoma, which often are "ill-defined". However, some medications can elevate prolactin, and a prolactinoma should respond well to cabergoline. I suspect you are seeing several doctors, but one should be an endocrinologist.
