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.

Peptic ulcers:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Heartburn and indigestion usually signal the beginning of a gastric ulcer attack. Eating stretches the gastric wall and may cause or, in some cases, relieve pain and feelings of fullness and distention. Other typical effects include weight loss and repeated episodes of massive GI bleeding.
Duodenal ulcers produce heartburn, well-localized midepigastric pain (relieved by food), weight gain (because the patient eats to relieve discomfort), and a peculiar sensation of hot water bubbling in the back of the throat. Attacks usually occur about 2 hours after meals, whenever the stomach is empty, or after consumption of orange juice, coffee, aspirin, or alcohol. Exacerbations tend to recur several times per year and then fade into remission. Vomiting and other digestive disturbances are rare.
Ulcers may penetrate the pancreas and cause severe back pain. Other complications of peptic ulcers include perforation, hemorrhage, and pyloric obstruction. Ulcers may, on occasion, produce no symptoms.

Peptic ulcers:
Signs and symptoms
(Handbook of Diseases)
Symptoms vary with the type of ulcer.
Gastric ulcers
Gastric ulcers are usually signaled by pain that becomes more intense with eating. The pain is usually constant because the gastric mucosa is sensitive to acid secretion. Nausea or anorexia may occur.
Duodenal ulcers
Duodenal ulcers produce epigastric pain that’s gnawing, dull, aching, or “hunger-like.” The pain is relieved by food or antacids and typically recurs 2 to 4 hours later. Weight loss or vomiting is typically a sign of malignancy or gastric outlet obstruction.
CLINICAL TIP: If the pain changes from rhythmic to constant or radiates, ulcer penetration into the pancreas or perforation may have occurred.
Well-localized midepigastric pain (relieved by food), weight gain (because the patient eats to relieve discomfort), and a peculiar sensation of hot water bubbling in the back of the throat are other reported signs.
Exacerbations tend to recur several times a year, then fade into remission. Vomiting and other digestive disturbances are rare.
Complications
Both kinds of ulcers may be asymptomatic or may penetrate the pancreas and cause severe back pain. Other complications of peptic ulcers include perforation, hemorrhage, and pyloric obstruction.
