A 28-year-old female with a 12-year history of goiter is presented. She had both clinical and laboratory evidence of hyperthyroidism, and her serum TSH was persistently and markedly elevated after treatment with antithyroid drugs. A TRH stimulation test resulted in no further rise in serum TSH after cessation of medication. Menses were regular and serum prolactin levels were normal. Serum LH and FSH responses to LHRH stimulation test were normal. No other evidence of pituitary or peripheral endocrine deficiencies existed. She underwent a subtotal thyroidectomy followed by <SUP>131</SUP>I therapy three years later. A pituitary adenoma with sphenoidal and suprasellar extension was completely removed by transsphenoidal approach. On light microscopy, it was mostly composed of chromophobic cells with occasional calcification showing sinusoidal pattern. On electron microscopy, most of the cells contained fine granules, which suggested thyrotroph. The immunoperoxidase technique revealed TSHβ in the cytoplasm of some adenoma cells. Three days postoperatively the patient's serum TSH levels returned to normal. TRH stimulation test produced a normal response in serum TSH. The patient was diagnosed hypothyroid by laboratory findings and is currently on thyroid replacement therapy. The patient became pregnant and delivered twice prior to the operation for pituitary adenoma. The previously reported TSH secreting adenomas associated with hyperthyroidism were reviewed.
