الوصف: A rare case of simultaneous hypersecretion of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and growth hormone (GH) in a pituitary adenoma is reported. A 59-year-old male complaining of general fatigue, dyspnea on exertion and finger tremor was admitted. Examination on admission, he revealed with hyperthyroidism and hypersecretion of TSH and thyroid hormones. Administration of TRH did not further increase serum TSH level, and administration of T3 also had no effect on TSH secretion. CT scan showed a pituitary macroadenoma 13mm in diameter. MRI demonstrated a homogenously hypointense mass with Gd-DTPA enhancement in the left side of the sella turcica. The entire chromophobic adenoma was removed by trans-sphenoidal surgery. Immunostaining of the specimen showed that the cytoplasm of the adenoma cells was positive for both TSH and GH. Double immunostaining using avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex (ABC) method and immunogold silver staining (IGSS) method, showed that the adenoma cells had been secreting both GH and TSH at the same time. After the adenomectomy, the hyperthyroidism disappeared, and all altered indicators of pituitary function returned to normal.
