We present an interesting case of a cystic, pituitary adenoma that showed up insidiously with non-traditional clinical symptoms. The standard of care for non-functioning pituitary adenomas is transsphenoidal surgery. However, with pharmacotherapy using cabergoline (a dopamine receptor agonist), the patient had a near disappearance of the tumor. This case report seeks to add to the medical literature the possibility of pharmacotherapy for treating non-functional pituitary adenomas.
