Abstract
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a rare disease, defined as a tumor developing in at least two endocrine glands including the anterior pituitary gland, the parathyroid glands and the duodenopancreatic endocrine tissue. This disorder, inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, is caused by mutations in the MEN1 gene encoding the tumor suppressor menin and located on chromosome 11q13. However, sporadic cases account for 8-14%. The first endocrine lesion may be solitary in approximately 75% of cases. However, all major alterations can be inaugural. We here report a case of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 revealed by aggressive somatoprolactinic pituitary adenoma which didn't respond to conventional treatment. The detection of primary hyperparathyroidism as well as neuroendocrine tumor of the pancreas seven years later make this a very particular case. Therapeutic options are discussed within the multidisciplinary team specialized in endocrine diseases. © Gladys Anguezomo et al.Entities:
