Hyperthyroidism due to a thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) pituitary adenoma is rare. We report a 29-year-old woman with thyrotoxicosis and elevated serum 3,5,3',5'-tetraiodothyronine and TSH levels that resolved after a transsphenoidal excision of the detected TSH pituitary adenoma. The diagnosis and management options in such patients are reviewed. |
