Screening of Cushing's syndrome in adult patients with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Microprolactinomas have been reported to resolve spontaneously after pregnancy and there have been suggestions that oestrogen therapy increases the size of microprolactinomas. Little is known, however, about the effect of the menopause in patients previously known to be hyperprolactinaemic. The aim of this st...
