Abstract
A case of persistent lactation associated with a pituitary tumor and increased urinary excretion of 17-ketosteroids and 17-hydroxycorticosteroids is presented. Cessation of lactation and a return to normal steroid excretion was accomplished by radiation therapy to the pituitary. The possible relationship of persistent lactation to pituitary tumors, to prolactin or a mammotropic hormone, and to adrenalcortical function is discussed.
