    <Abstract>Prolactin (PRL) secreting adenomas are the most common secreting pituitary tumors, accounting for approximately 45% of all pituitary tumours. Giant prolactinomas are a rare subset of macroadenomas, characterized by large size (more than 40 mm in diameter (an arbitrary size), high aggressiveness and massive extrasellar involvement. We describe an unusual giant prolactin producing macroadenoma of pituitary gland in female patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and its response to cabergoline.</Abstract>
