Abstract
A 48-year-old woman presented with galactorrhoea, moderate hyperprolactinaemia (0.97 IU/l) and a pituitary macroadenoma (10 × 7 × 6 mm). Over a period of six years the patient had developed overt acromegalic features and was subsequently diagnosed with acromegaly while treated with dopamine receptor agonist. Acromegaly should always be considered in patients presenting with hyperprolactinaemia and a pituitary adenoma.
