Abstract
Pituitary hyperplasia consequent to untreated primary hypothyroidism undergoes impressive regression following thyroxine therapy. We describe a young man with primary hypothyroidism and pituitary hyperplasia, who showed significant but incomplete regression of pituitary enlargement despite 18 months of L-thyroxine therapy (1 year in replacement dose (150 μ g/day) and an additional 6 months in suppressive dose (300 μ g/day)).
