Abstract
Nonfunctioning pituitary tumors though detected frequently, they are diagnosed late when they grow large in size producing pressure effects and compression syndrome as headache, visual disturbances and hypopituitarism. These tumors can reach enormous size and infiltrate adjacent structures like brain tissue, dura, sphenoid bone and cavernous sinus. We report a case of Giant Prolactinoma in a fifty years old postmenopausal patient.
