Abstract

Functioning pituitary gonadotropinomas are rarely described and comprise only a small portion of pituitary adenomas. Most of them are macroadenomas and cause endocrine dysfunctions usually presenting as either ovarian hyperstimulation, testicular enlargement or precocious puberty. Transsphenoidal resection is currently regarded as the treatment of choice, while other treatment options are considered ineffective and are rarely used.
