Sonographic Findings of Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma Leading to Diagnosis of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2a during Pregnancy
Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 2a (Sipple's syndrome) is characterized by medullary thyroid carcinoma and pheochromocytoma, and in a smaller percentage of cases, multiglandular parathyroid hyperplasia. This autosomal-dominant syndrome is due to a mutation in the rearranged during transfection (RET) proto-oncogene located on chromosome 10cen-10q11.2 and rarely complicates pregnancy. We ...

متن کاملPheochromocytomas, MEN 2A and Pregnancy: A Case Report with Review of the Literature
Pheochromocytoma in pregnancy is a rare condition with an estimated incidence of one in 54,000 pregnancies. Pheochromocytoma in the setting of multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 2A develops in approximately 40% of the patients with this germline mutation. MEN 2A patients with pheochromocytoma are often asymptomatic compared to those with nonsyndromic pheochromocytoma. We present a 28-year-...
متن کاملPrazosin's effect in high renin hypertension complicating pheochromocytoma.
During three consecutive days of prazosin treatment in a patient with pheochromocytoma, urinary catecholamine metabolite levels were correlated with plasma renin activity. Suppression of renin plasma activity resulted in sustained hemodynamic and clinical improvement, while no remarkable changes were observed in urinary catecholamine metabolite levels. This suggests that prazosin may interrupt ...
