Abstract

Abstract A 41year old female with a medical history significant for depression presented for evaluation of bilateral nipple discharge for 5 months. The patient reported that for the last 5 months she started noticing expressible nipple discharge. She reported no associated headaches, vision changes. She denied the use of vitamins, supplements, herbal remedies. No associated fatigue, changes in the shoe/ring size, heat/cold intolerance, tremors, recent weight changes. She denied neck enlargement, neck pain, dysphagia. The patient reported her menstrual cycles had always been heavy and irregular (every 33-50 days). She has never been pregnant. She has been on Sertraline for the last 4 years with no recent dose changes. Family history was significant for Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome in father, brother, and sister. The patient has not been tested yet. Initial blood test revealed TSH 1.180 uiu/ml (0.45-4.5 uiu/ml), free T4 1.15 ng/dl (0.82- 1.77 ng/dl), T3 91ng/dl (71-180 ng/dl), FSH 3.8 mIU/ml, LH 3.7 mIU/ml, IGF-1 83 ng/ml (74-239 ng/ml), prolactin 107 ng/ml (4.79-23.3 ng/ml), monomeric prolactin 75.7 ng/ml, macroprolactin 23%, estradiol 16 pg/ml, AM Cortisol 6.5 ug/dl (6.2-19.4ug/dl). The urine pregnancy test was negative. Given low normal AM cortisol, a Cosyntropin stimulation test was done, which was normal. MRI Pituitary with contrast showed flattening of pituitary contour compatible with a partially empty sella turcica and an 8 mm fat intensity in hypothalamic region compatible with a lipoma, stable since last 4 years. The patient was referred to Neurosurgery for further evaluation. The patient remained asymptomatic and medical therapy was not indicated. Genetic testing for BHD was discussed. The patient will be followed in the clinic with a follow-up of prolactin levels and imaging as needed. Presentation: Monday, June 13, 2022 12:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.
