The multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndromes consist of three distinct disease entities. They have in common adenomatous, carcinomatous or hyperplastic involvement of a variety of endocrine glands, and an autosomal dominant inheritance. MEN I includes hyperparathyroidism, islet cell and pituitary tumors. The components of MEN IIa are hyperparathyroidism, medullary thyroid carcinoma and pheochromocytoma. MEN IIb includes multiple neuromas, medullary thyroid carcinoma and pheochromocytoma. Effective tests are available for the early detection of components of the syndromes in potentially affected patients. Screening can lead to therapeutic intervention before clinical sequelae ensue.
多发性内分泌腺瘤病(MEN)综合征由三种不同的疾病实体组成。它们的共同特征是多种内分泌腺出现腺瘤样、癌样或增生性病变,并呈常染色体显性遗传。MEN I包括甲状旁腺功能亢进、胰岛细胞瘤和垂体瘤。MEN IIa的组成部分是甲状旁腺功能亢进、甲状腺髓样癌和嗜铬细胞瘤。MEN IIb包括多发性神经瘤、甲状腺髓样癌和嗜铬细胞瘤。有有效的检测方法可用于早期发现潜在受累患者的综合征组成部分。筛查可在临床后遗症出现之前进行治疗干预。
