Abstract

With interest I read the article from my former colleagues Kroese, Grootendorst and Schelfhout. The conclusion that amenorrhoea, galactorrhoea and hyperprolactinaemia associated with enlargement of the pituitary gland are caused by primary hypothyroidism may be correct and is very well supported by the literature. At first glance, the case is clear-cut and other possibilities seem to have been ruled out sufficiently.
