Multiple Neuroendocrine Tumors in Stomach and Duodenum in a Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 Patient
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 67-year-old woman with a history of subtotal parathyroidectomy, distal pancreatectomy, and total splenectomy 23 years prior underwent surgical gastric resection for neuroendocrine tumors of the stomach and duodenum. Meticulous examination of the entire stomach and duodenum revealed multiple scattered, minute neuroendocrine tumors. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of a patient diagnosed with gastroduodenal neuroendocrine tumors associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1) in whom complete histologic mapping of the whole gastrectomy specimen was performed. The presence of MEN 1-associated neuroendocrine tumors in the stomach is very rare, but should be considered in patients diagnosed with MEN 1 who present with a new tumor in the stomach.

The rare hereditary syndrome, multiple endocrine neoplasia type1 (MEN-1), is known to predispose affected individuals to endocrine neoplasms in a variety of tissues such as the parathyroid glands, the pituitary gland and the gastrointestinal tract. We describe the case of a man with traditionally-described manifestations (hyperparathyroidism and gastrinoma) and with other tumoral lesions arisin...

Proliferative changes in the neuroendocrine cells that precede neoplasia are of interest for the understanding of tumorigenesis and the early recognition of neuroendocrine tumors. This review focuses on precursor lesions of duodenal and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) and also discusses 2 new disease entities of pancreatic microadenomatosis. The ga...

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 is an inherited endocrine tumor syndrome, predominantly characterized by tumors of the parathyroid glands, gastroenteropancreatic tumors, pituitary adenomas, adrenal adenomas, and neuroendocrine tumors of the thymus, lungs or stomach. Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 is caused by germline mutations of the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 tumor suppresso...

Neuroendocrine gastroenteropancreatic tumors (GEP-NETs) constitute a heterogeneous group of tumors with their origin in neuroendocrine cells of the embryological gut. Most commonly, the primary lesion is located in the gastric mucosa, the small and large intestine, the rectum and pancreas. The crude incidence has significantly increased over the last years and is now estimated to be 5.25/100 00...
متن کاملThe surgical management of hyperparathyroidism and endocrine disease of the pancreas in the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 patient.
The surgical management of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) parathyroid disease and involvement of the endocrine pancreas remains controversial. Hyperparathyroidism, usually the first clinical manifestation of the syndrome, requires surgical treatment in nearly all patients. We favour a subtotal parathyroidectomy and cervical thymectomy rather than a total parathyroidectomy and autotr...
