Thyrotropic adenomas (TSH-PitNET) are the rarest pituitary tumours. Most TSH-PitNETs are secreting adenoma, with a biological picture of inappropriate TSH secretion (moderately elevated TSH, elevated FT3 and FT4). Patients present most often clinical hyperthyroidism, but with more moderate symptoms than in peripheral hyperthyroidism. Biological diagnosis is not always easy. The main differential diagnoses are interfering antibody assay interactions, dysalbuminemia and thyroid hormone resistance syndrome. Misdiagnosis is common. However, the diagnosis is easier when macroadenomas are involved (80% of cases), with symptoms of optic chiasm compression, headache and signs of hypopituitarism. Treatment is initially based on surgery. In case of failure, somatostatin analogues are very effective in controlling tumor volume and secretion, although there is a risk of thyroid insufficiency, which is usually transient.
