==Overview==
 
A '''prolactinoma''' is a [[benign]] [[tumor]] ([[adenoma]]) of the '''[[pituitary gland]]''' that produces a [[hormone]] called [[prolactin]]. It is the most common type of [[pituitary tumor]]. Symptoms of prolactinoma are caused by too much prolactin in the blood ([[hyperprolactinemia]]) or by pressure of the tumor on surrounding tissues.
