MEN1 syndrome is known to classically result in parathyroid, pituitary, and pancreatic islet cell tumours. However, the potential association of MEN1 syndrome with hibernoma, a benign tumour with differentiation towards brown fat, is far less well known, despite their genetic profile both being linked to deletion of the MEN1 gene. Herein, we describe a case with its key radiological and pathological findings.
已知多发性内分泌腺瘤1型(MEN1)综合征典型地会导致甲状旁腺、垂体和胰岛细胞瘤。然而,MEN1综合征与冬眠瘤(一种向棕色脂肪分化的良性肿瘤)之间的潜在关联却鲜为人知,尽管它们的基因特征都与MEN1基因缺失有关。在此,我们描述一例具有关键影像学和病理学表现的病例。
