hypothalamus increases PRL Metabolic disorders: renal failure, hypothyroidism, cirrhosis Pathology of the pituitary gland: pituitary tumors, of which 80% are pituitary tumors with increased PRL secretion 1.3 Pituitary tumor increased secretion of PRL 1.3.1 Epidemiology Pituitary tumor increased secretion of PRL have an incidence of 6-50/100,000 people, accounting for about 40% of pituitary tumors In general, the male/female ratio is 1:3 1.3.2 Classification of pituitary tumor Based on histopathology, divided into types: + Pituitary adenoma increased secretion of PRL + Pituitary carcinoma increased secretion of PRL Based on size, divided into types: + Microadenoma: 40mm Based on invasion of the pituitary gland (according to Hardy) o Stage A: Tumor invades 10mm above the pituitary fossa in the visual interference pool o Stage B: Tumor extends 20mm above the pituitary fossa, pressing on the pituitary stalk and optic interference o Stage C: tumor 30mm above the pituitary, pressing on the third ventricle, growing to the foramen of Monro o Stage D: tumor is >30mm above the pituitary, with ventricular dilatation due to occlusion of the foramen of Monro o Stage E: Tumor invades the cavernous sinus Classification of Derome et al: there are stages o Stage 0: Small pituitary adenoma (
