Multiple endocrine neoplasia:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Clinical effects of MEN may develop in various combinations and orders, depending on the glands involved. The most common manifestation of MEN I is hyperparathyroidism, followed by ulcer due to Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (marked by increased gastrin production from non-beta islet cell tumors of the pancreas). Hypoglycemia may result from pancreatic beta islet cell tumors, with increased insulin production. When MEN I affects the parathyroids, it produces signs of hyperparathyroidism, including hypercalcemia (because the parathyroids are primarily responsible for the regulation of calcium and phosphorus levels). When MEN causes pituitary tumor, it’s most commonly a prolactinoma, but can be a growth hormone or corticotropin, or even a nonsecretory adenoma.
Characteristic features of MEN II with medullary carcinoma of the thyroid include enlarged thyroid mass, with resultant increased calcitonin and, occasionally, ectopic corticotropin, causing Cushing’s syndrome. With tumors of the adrenal medulla, symptoms include headache, tachyarrhythmias, and hypertension; with adenomatosis or hyperplasia of the parathyroids, symptoms result from renal calculi.
