[Prolactinomas and "idiopathic" hyperprolactinemia. Case series].

Endocrine features in 22 women affected by idhyopatic hyperprolactinemia and in ten women affected by prolactin secreting adenoma have been assessed basic levels of FSH, LH, E2, T3, T4, and PRL were evaluated and dynamic tests by GnRH, TRH and bromocryptine were performed prolactin basal value and TRH dynamic test show some value in differentiating hydiopatic hyperprolactinaemia from prolactynomas, but no hormon by itself nor dynamic test show a reliable effectiveness for this diagnosis.

[The US-CT contribution to the diagnosis of salivary gland neoplasms].

In this work, we describe a diagnostic iter in case of salivary gland neoplasia suspicion: 1) direct radiography, 2) ultrasound (US), 3) sialography, 4) computed tomography (CT), 5) cytodiagnosis, 6) scintigraphy. But we particularly speak about US and CT, because of their daily use in diagnostic radiology. Ultrasound is considered a first examination for its high resolution, low invasiveness, low costs and it is easy and smart. While CT is considered a second examination because it permits staging of the salivary neoplasia and a complete patient inquiry. We presented two clinical cases: a submandibular sarcoma and a parotid carcinoma, describing their US-CT diagnosis: we can confirm that these techniques are often sufficient for a correct localisation of neoplasia and for a therapy program.
