Abstrakt: Key Clinical Message: Long‐acting pasireotide and bromocriptine provided biochemical control of growth hormone and prolactin in a patient with plurihormonal pituitary macroadenoma, allowing near‐complete tumor excision while restoring pituitary function and avoiding adjunctive radiotherapy. Pasireotide initiation resulted in hyperglycemia, which stabilized after a few months and resolved upon pasireotide discontinuation (ACCESS; NCT01995734).
