Aggressive prolactinomas responsive to temozolomide treatment: Report of two cases

Clin Case Rep. 2022 Jul 18;10(7):e6087. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.6087. eCollection 2022 Jul.

Abstract

Refractory aggressive prolactinomas are detected after the unresponsiveness to conventional therapies. We report two cases that underwent temozolomide treatment and have been in near-complete remission ever since. We suggest the pathology techniques for earlier detection and, subsequently, treatment with temozolomide to reduce morbidities and better respond to therapy.

Keywords: aggressive prolactinoma; case report; pituitary neoplasms; prolactinoma; temozolomide.
