Multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 1 (MEN1) syndrome is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by tumors involving parathyroid, pituitary, and pancreas. The diagnosis is mostly clinical and by the presence of MEN1 gene mutation. We present a case with initial presentation of neuroendocrine tumor of pancreas whose ancillary findings on Ga-DOTATATE positron emission tomography-computed tomography helped in raising suspicion of MEN1, which was confirmed on genetic testing and family history. We emphasize the importance of using gestalt approach in such cases to avoid misdiagnosis or delay. Additionally, we describe the clinical profile of affected family members with their MEN1 gene mutation status, highlighting the gestalt approach again to uncover the unknowns.
多发性内分泌腺瘤 1 型(MEN1)综合征是一种常染色体显性疾病,其特征为甲状旁腺、垂体和胰腺发生肿瘤。诊断主要依靠临床症状以及 MEN1 基因突变情况。我们报告一例最初表现为胰腺神经内分泌肿瘤的病例,其在镓 - DOTATATE 正电子发射断层扫描 - 计算机断层扫描上的辅助检查结果有助于提高对 MEN1 的怀疑,这在基因检测和家族史中得到了证实。我们强调在此类病例中采用整体诊断方法以避免误诊或延误的重要性。此外,我们描述了受影响家庭成员的临床特征及其 MEN1 基因突变状态,再次强调整体诊断方法以发现未知情况。
