Risk factors

Prolactinoma may occur as part of a hereditary disorder called multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1), so patients with MEN 1 are at increased risk for prolactinoma. A minority of tumors are associated with:

  • Multiple endocrine neoplasia type I (MEN I)[1]
  • Carney complex
  • McCune-Albright Syndrome
  • MEN like syndrome ( CKDN1B loss of function)

So patients with any of these syndromes are at increased risk for prolactinoma.
