Multiple endocrine neoplasia, abbreviated MEN, refers to collection of different genetic abnormalities that lead to endocrine neoplasms.
Simple
MEN 1
- Parathyroid adenoma.[1]
- Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours.
- Pituitary adenoma.
Memory device: 3 Ps.
MEN 2A (II)
- Parathyroid adenoma.
- Medullary thyroid carcinoma (usu. preceded by C cell hyperplasia[2]).
- Pheochromocytoma.
Notes - memory device:
- Both MEN 1 and MEN 2A have parathyroid adenomas.
- Each has additional neoplasms below and above the diaphragm.
MEN 2B (III)
- Neuromas/ganglioneuromas.
- Medullary thyroid carcinoma (usu. preceded by C cell hyperplasia[2]).
- Pheochromocytoma.
Details
MEN 1
Characteristics:[2]
- Endocrine tumours usu. lead to most of the morbidity.
- Usu. arise in the duodenum.
- May present as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome - triad of pancreatic gastrinoma, gastric hypersecretion, small bowel peptic ulcers.[3]
MEN 2A
Characteristics:[2]
- Medullary thyroid carcinoma - in almost 100%.
Treatment:
- Patients are advised to have prophylactic thyroidectomy.
Images:
Trivia:
- In MEN 2A and 2B the RET gene is abnormally activated. In Hirschsprung disease, it is inactivated.[2]
MEN 2B
Characteristics:
- Marfanoid habitus.[4]
- Neuromas.
- Multiple ganglioneuromas (ganglioneuromatosis) of the alimentary tract.[5][6]
- Ganglion cells + spindle cells.[7]
Treatment:
- Patients are advised to have prophylactic thyroidectomy.
