Invasive giant prolactinoma with loss of therapeutic response to cabergoline: Expression of angiogenic markers
The present study reports the case of a 70-year-old Caucasian man who was referred to the Military Hospital of Buenos Aires for evaluation of a giant sellar-extrasellar mass with extension in the right temporal lobe and compression of the third ventricle. Patient was initially responsive to cabergol...
