Pituitary gigantism in a 31 month old girl: endocrine studies and successful response to hypophysectomy.

A case of pituitary gigantism occurring in a 31 month old female child is reported. Growth records indicate that the disorder began early in the second yr of life. Apart from her size and history of excessive sweating, there were no characteristic clinical features of endocrinopathy. Elevated and autonomous secretion of GH (60-109 microgram/l) and prolactin were corrected by the removal of an eosinophilic pituitary adenoma. In the subsequent 6 yr, despite the presence of immunoreactive GH (4.6-17.3 microgram/l), plasma somatomedin was subnormal and the patient showed growth failure which responded normally to exogenous GH therapy. This case, which appears to be the youngest example of verified pituitary gigantism on record, illustrates that a successful outcome can be achieved by surgical ablative therapy.

Ovulation and successful pregnancy in a woman with ovarian failure after hypophysectomy and gonadotropin therapy.

A 38-year-old woman ovulated and conceived after administration of human menopausal gonadotropins despite a previous diagnosis of ovarian failure at age 18. Possible explanations include restoration of down-regulated gonadotropin receptors by development of a prolactinoma, spontaneous remission of autoimmune oophoritis, or prior tumor secretion of biologically inert gonadotropins.
