Resumen
Si bien la neurocirugía aún es considerada el tratamiento de primera elección para pacientes con acromegalia, la alta eficacia de los análogos de la somatostatina (AS) en el control de la hipersecreción hormonal y del crecimiento tumoral fomenta su empleo como terapia fundamental en determinados pacientes. El criterio principal para definir la respuesta clínica a los AS está basado en el control bioquímico de la enfermedad. En este artículo describimos el caso de un paciente con acromegalia tratado inicialmente con octreotida LAR (fórmula de liberación prolongada) y en quien el tumor de la glándula hipófisis desapareció luego de 18 meses de tratamiento; éste fue el primer caso de remisión radiológica completa de un tumor hipofisario durante el tratamiento de la acromegalia con octreotida LAR. Sin embargo, los mecanismos de acción de los AS en la inhibición del crecimiento tumoral y de la secreción hormonal no son conocidos en su totalidad, y los dos efectos podrían tener lugar independientemente uno del otro. Recientemente, hemos demostrado un caso de disminución masiva del tamaño del tumor en un paciente que presentaba un escaso control bioquímico de la enfermedad. Tal resultado coincide con la hipótesis que plantea que los efectos antitumorales de la octreotida podrían producirse independientemente de la actividad antihormonal de dicho fármaco.

Abstract
Although neurosurgery is still considered the first line therapy for patients with acromegaly, the high efficacy of somatostatin analogs (SSA) in controlling hormone hypersecretion, as well as tumor growth, encouraged the use of SSA as primary therapy in selected patients. The main criterion to define the clinical response to SSA is based on the biochemical control of the disease. We described the case of an acromegalic patient primarily treated with octreotide LAR in whom the pituitary tumor disappeared after 18 months of treatment, this was the first case of complete radiological remission of pituitary tumor during octreotide LAR treatment in acromegaly. However, the mechanisms of action of SSA in inhibiting tumor growth and hormonal secretion are still not fully understood and the two effects may occur independently by each other. We have recently demonstrated a case of a massive shrinkage in a patient with a poor biochemical control of the disease. This evidence supports the hypothesis that the antitumoral effect of octreotide may occur independently of the antihormonal activity of the drug.
