Hello and welcome to HCM,
A pituitary mass along with high prolactin levels is very much suggestive of pituitary tumor.
The high prolactin levels can be treated by removal of the piyuitary tumor.
Thus, consult your neurosurgeon for planning of surgical removal of the tumor.
Removal of the tumor will improve theprolactin levels.
Thanks and take care
