Short-term Preoperative Octreotide for Thyrotropin-secreting Pituitary Adenoma

Short-term Preoperative Octreotide for Thyrotropin-secreting Pituitary Adenoma

Background: Thyrotropin-secreting pituitary adenomas (TSHomas) are a rare cause of hyperthyroidism. Somatostatin (SST) analogs work by interacting with somatostatin receptors (SSTRs).
