multiple endocrine neoplasia/diarrhea

A father and son each presented with severe watery diarrhea. The son was found to have a pancreatic islet-cell tumor associated with the pancreatic cholera syndrome, as well as a parathyroid adenoma. The father was found to have multiple islet-cell adenomas and the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

During examination before surgical correction of pes valgus a 20-year-old man reported having 3-5 pasty, foul smelling diarrhoeic motions per day for the past 3 years. He was noted to have rather thick lips and Marfan-like body build. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 18/34 mm, serum activity of

OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical manifestations, therapeutic response and RET gene mutation in a patient with multiple endocrine neoplasia 2B (MEN2B) characterized by medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), bilateral adrenal pheochromocytoma and multiple mucosal neuromas. METHODS The clinical features,

Zollinger Ellison Syndrome (ZES) is characterized by a wide spectrum of conditions including severe gastroesophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcer disease, watery diarrhea, and weight loss. We present a case of a 60-year-old woman being evaluated for severe dyspepsia, vomiting, and chronic diarrhea,

The patient A.M., woman, presented Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia, associating hyperparathyroidism, an adrenal tumor and pancreatic tumor; one can observe that the disease had features of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type-1 (pancreatic tumor), as well as Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type-2 (MEN-2,

We report a 28 years old woman who consulted for diarrhea of two years and a thyroid nodule. A medullary thyroid carcinoma was diagnosed and a thyroidectomy performed. There was a local relapse two months later and distant metastases were found five months later. A MIBG-1131 scintigraphic image of

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of cystic duct are extremely rare, accounting for less than 2% of NET cases. The association of biliary tree NET and multiple endocrine neoplasm type 1 (MEN1) are even more rare. In this report, we described a case of a 65-year-old woman who was referred to our

A 35-year-old female with malabsorption syndrome who underwent a pancreatoduodenectomy for multiple endocrine adenomatosis 13 years prior was admitted to our hospital with diarrhea, general fatigue, high fever, and eruption in the lower legs. The patient had consumed raw shrimp a few days before

Human multiple endocrine neoplasia subtype 2A (MEN 2A) is characterized by medullary thyroid carcinoma, pheochromocytoma and parathyroid hyperplasia or adenoma in the same individual. In this report, a case of a female Rottweiler with medullary thyroid carcinoma, bilateral pheochromocytoma and

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) is a rare familial syndrome caused by mutations in the RET protooncogene and it is transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. The underlying problem for all the MEN syndromes is failure of a tumour suppressor gene. The genetic defect in MEN2 is on

A 20-yr-old black woman presented in 1969 with headache, amenorrhea, hyperprolactinemia, hypogonadotropism, hypogonadism, and hypercalcemia due to a chromophobe adenoma. She received 5000 rads to the sella. One year later she was found to have hyperparathyroidism due to parathyroid adenoma and three

BACKGROUND Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B (MEN2B) is an extremely rare syndrome mainly caused by RET918 germline mutations. MEN2B typically causes medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), pheochromocytoma, and unique physical characteristics including mucosal neuroma, distinctive facial appearance,

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 is a rare autosomal dominant disorder classically characterized by a predisposition to tumors of the parathyroid glands, anterior pituitary, and enteropancreatic endocrine cells. We present the clinical details of a patient with diarrhea, nephrolithiasis, erectile
