ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Prolactinomas are prolactin-producing pituitary adenomas, representing the most common functional pituitary tumors. The resulting hyperprolactinemia can lead to reproductive dysfunction and other clinical symptoms. Appropriate management in primary care is crucial for early diagnosis and effective treatment, especially in rural areas with limited access to specialized services. Objective: To report the follow-up of a patient diagnosed with prolactinoma 30 years ago, who was followed up at a rural Basic Health Unit (UBS), highlighting the challenges and strategies adopted in the primary care context.
