Growth hormone-secreting pituitary macroadenoma presenting concurrently with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and responding to doxorubicin treatment: case report and review of the literature.

We present a case report of a patient who presented with nausea and vomiting, as well as acromegalic features. Following testing, a pituitary adenoma and mediastinal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were diagnosed. Following two cycles of R-CHOP chemotherapy, imaging showed significant decrease in size of the sellar tumor. Following resection of tumor, both frozen and permanent section revealed only necrotic material. Further research into the potential utility of doxorubicin for the treatment of recurrent or refractory pituitary adenomas may be warranted.
