Immediate postoperative measurement of thyroid-stimulating hormone as an early predictor of remission in thyroid-stimulating hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas.
CONCLUSIONS: Tumor size and extent are major prognostic factors for both extent of resection and endocrinological remission. The consistency of TSHomas was more likely to be solid, which makes extracapsular dissection more feasible. Long-term remission of TSHomas could be predicted even during the early postoperative period.
