Hyperprolactinemia
A prolactinoma is a benign-noncancerous-tumor of the pituitary gland that produces a hormone called prolactin. Prolactinomas are the most common type of pituitary tumor. Symptoms of prolactinoma are caused by hyperprolactinemia-too much prolactin in the blood-or by pressure of the tumor on surrounding tissues.
