MEN I/MEN II
MEN I
◦ Involves the 3 P’s
Pituitary
Parathyroid
Pancreatic islet cells
MEN I
Parathyroid
◦ Hyperparathyroidism occurs in over 90% of pts.
Typically first detectable abnormality
Nephrolithiasis/Hypercalcemia
◦ Usual presentation:
25-35 y/o presents with predominantly urinary complaints
◦ Nephrolithiasis
◦ Polyuria
◦ Hypercalcemia
◦ Muscle weakness
◦ Anorexia/Nausea
Not as in primary hyperparathyroidism (more on this later)
◦ Postmenopausal women
◦ Nephrolithiasis
◦ Hypertension
◦ Osteoporosis
◦ Emotional disturbances
MEN I
Parathyroid
◦ This is a multi-glandular process
Diffuse hyperplasia
Metachronous development of multiple adenomas
4 gland enlargement
◦ Not as in primary HPT
◦ Single adenoma
Preop sestimibi will reveal diffuse glandular involvement
MEN I
Parathyroid
◦ Autosomal dominant
Genetic testing
◦ Found on MENIN gene
◦ Chromosome 11q13
Family screening
◦ should be accomplished on 1st degree relatives
◦ early teen years
◦ Include serum
◦ Calcium
◦ Glucose
◦ Gastrin
Fasting Insulin
Pancreatic Polypeptide
Growth Hormone
VIP
Prolactin
b-human Gonadotropin
◦ Annual calcium screening should occur in 1st degree relatives
MEN I
◦ Parathyroid
There is no curative operation
◦ Preferred corrective strategy employs 3.5 gland excision
◦ Optional total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation to forearm
◦ Achieves cure > 90% of cases
◦ Recurrent hyperparathyroidism
after autotransplantation to forearm ~ 50% recurrence
Resection of autotransplanted material
Hypoparathyroidism postop occurrence < 5%
Treated with oral supplementation
MEN I
MEN I
◦ Involves the 3 P’s
Pituitary
Parathyroid
Pancreatic islet cells
MEN I
Pituitary
◦ Occur in 40% of MEN I pts
Most commonly benign prolactin secreting adenomas
May produce
◦ Growth hormone
◦ ACTH
◦ rarely nonfunctional adenomas
Presenting symptoms
◦ Headache
◦ Diplopia
◦ Symptoms associated with hormone overproduction
Galactorrhea, Gynecomastia
Acromegally
Cushing’s Syndrome
◦ thin skin/stretch marks
◦ proximal muscle weakness
◦ hyperglycemia
MEN I
Pituitary
◦ Bromocriptine mesylate
Dopamine agonist
First line therapy
Inhibits prolactin production
Reduces tumor bulk
Cabergoline is second line therapy for pts unable to tolerate
Bromocriptine mesylate
◦ Trans-sphenoidal hypophysectomy for medical failures
3 months of therapy
Failure to improve prolactin levels or diplopia
Cabergoline more effective in tumor shinkage
MEN I
MEN I
◦ Involves the 3 P’s
Pituitary
Parathyroid
Pancreatic islet cells
MEN I
Pancreatic islet cells
◦ Poses most difficult clinical challenge
Pancreas is diffusely involved
◦ Islet cell hyperplasia
◦ Multifocal tumors
Accounts for most morbidity and mortality
◦
◦
◦
◦
◦
Gastrinoma (Zollinger-Ellison)
Vasoactive intestinal polypeptidoma (VIPoma)
Insulinoma
Glucagonoma
Somatostatinoma
90% found in gastrinoma triangle and are malignant
◦ Junction of cystic duct and CBD
◦ Junction of 2nd and 3rd portions of duodenum
◦ Junction of body and neck of pancreas
Therapy directed at palliation of symptoms and the malignant process
MEN I
Junction of cystic duct and
CBD
Junction of 2nd and 3rd
portions of duodenum
Junction of body and neck
of pancreas
Gastrinoma Triangle
MEN I
◦ Involves the 3 P’s
Pituitary
Parathyroid
Pancreatic islet cells
MEN II
◦ MEN II-A
Medullary carcinoma of thyroid
Pheochromocytoma
Parathyroid hyperplasia
◦ MEN II-B
Medullary carcinoma of thyroid
Pheochromocytoma
Ganglioneuromatosis (mucosal neuromas)
Marfanoid habitus
MEN I/MEN II
MEN II
◦ MEN II-A
Medullary carcinoma of thyroid
Pheochromocytoma
Parathyroid hyperplasia
MEN II-A
Medullary carcinoma of thyroid
◦ Present in all pts
◦ Autosomal dominant syndrome
Gain-of-function mutation in RET proto-oncogene
Prophylactic thyroidectomy indicated for all RET-mutation carriers upon
discovery1
◦ Greatest survival benefit if thyroidectomy completed < 5 yoa for MEN II-A2
◦ Age specific progression from C cell hyperplasia to medullary thyroid cancer to nodal
metastasis
◦ After primary resection – recurrence in over 50% pts
No recurrence/nodal metastasis in pts < 14 yoa
Re-operation for locally recurrent disease
No accepted adjuvant therapy for metastatic disease
