We present a 5 year old girl who was diagnosed to have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type IIB (MEN IIB). She presented with serious constipation and had the distinct features of MEN IIB. 100% of the patients with MEN IIB develop medullary thyreoïd carcinoma (MTC). MTC in MEN IIB is known to behave in a very aggressive way. Microscopically MTC was already present in this patient despite of normal calcitonin stimulation tests. Accordingly we plead for a more radical management relating to thyreoïdectomy in MEN IIB.
我们报告一名5岁女孩,她被诊断患有IIB型多发性内分泌腺瘤综合征(MEN IIB)。她表现出严重便秘,具有MEN IIB的典型特征。100%的MEN IIB患者会发生甲状腺髓样癌(MTC)。已知MEN IIB中的MTC具有非常侵袭性的行为。尽管降钙素刺激试验正常,但显微镜检查发现该患者已存在MTC。因此,我们主张对MEN IIB的甲状腺切除术采取更激进的治疗方法。
