RESUMO
Background: Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is an autosomal dominant disorder marked by pathogenic variants in the MEN1 tumor suppressor gene, leading to tumors in the parathyroid glands, pancreas, and pituitary. The occurrence of ACTH-producing pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma is exceedingly rare in MEN1. Case presentation: This report details a Colombian family harboring a novel MEN1 variant identified through genetic screening initiated by the index case. Affected family members exhibited primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) symptoms from their 20s to 50s. Uniquely, the index case developed an ACTH-secreting pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma, a rarity in MEN1 syndromes. Proactive screening enabled the early detection of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs) as microadenomas in two carriers, with subsequent surgical or pharmacological intervention based on the clinical presentation. Conclusion: Our findings underscore the significance of cascade screening in facilitating the early diagnosis and individualized treatment of MEN1, contributing to better patient outcomes. Additionally, this study brings to light a novel presentation of ACTH-producing pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma within the MEN1 spectrum, expanding our understanding of the disease's manifestations.

BACKGROUND: Multiple endocrine neoplasias (MENs) are a group of hereditary diseases involving multiple endocrine glands, and their prevalence is low. MEN type 1 (MEN1) has diverse clinical manifestations, mainly involving the parathyroid glands, gastrointestinal tract, pancreas and pituitary gland, making it easy to miss the clinical diagnosis. CASE SUMMARY: We present the case of a patient in whom MEN1 was detected early. A middle-aged male with recurrent abdominal pain and diarrhea was admitted to the hospital. Blood tests at admission revealed hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia, and emission computed tomography of the parathyroid glands revealed a hyperfunctioning parathyroid lesion. Gastroscopy findings suggested a duodenal bulge and ulceration. Ultrasound endoscopy revealed a hypoechoic lesion in the duodenal bulb. Further blood tests revealed elevated levels of serum gastrin. Surgery was performed, and pathological analysis of the surgical specimens revealed a parathyroid adenoma after parathyroidectomy and a neuroendocrine tumor after duodenal bulbectomy. The time from onset to the definitive diagnosis of MEN1 was only approximately 1 year. CONCLUSION: For patients who present with gastrointestinal symptoms accompanied by hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia, clinicians need to be alert to the possibility of MEN1.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a rare syndrome caused by inactivating mutations in the MEN1 tumor suppressor gene. The three main clinical manifestations of MEN1 are primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), duodenal-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (DP-NETs) and anterior pituitary tumors. Endocrine tumors in patients with MEN1 differ from sporadic tumors because of their younger age at onset, common multiple presentations and the different clinical course. MEN1 is characterized by a complex clinical phenotype; thus, patients should be followed by a multidisciplinary team of experts that includes an endocrinologist, a surgeon, a oncologist, a radiotherapist, and not least, a nutritionist. It is important to remember the fundamental role that diet plays as a primary prevention tool, together with a healthy and active lifestyle in preventing osteoporosis/osteopenia and reducing the risk of developing kidney stones due to hypercalciuria, two frequent clinical complications in MEN1 patients. Is very important for MEN1 patients to have an adequate intake of calcium, vitamin D, magnesium and phosphate to maintain good bone health. The intake of foods containing oxalates must also be kept under control because in combination with calcium they concur to form calcium oxalate crystals, increasing the risk of nephrolithiasis. Another aspect to consider is the management of patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors undergoing major surgical resections of the pancreas that can lead to alterations in digestion and absorption mechanisms due to partial or total reduction in pancreatic enzymes such as amylase, lipase, and protease, resulting in malabsorption and malnutrition. Therefore, the nutritionist's aim should be to devise a dietary plan that takes into consideration each single patient, educating them about a healthy and active lifestyle, and accompanying them through various life stages by implementing strategies that can enhance their quality of life.

PURPOSE: Middle segment-preserving pancreatectomy (MSPP) is a relatively new parenchymal-sparing surgery that has been introduced as an alternative to total pancreatectomy (TP) for multicentric benign and borderline pancreatic diseases. To date, only 36 cases have been reported in English. METHODS: We reviewed 22 published articles on MSPP and reported an additional case. RESULTS: Our patient was a 49-year-old Japanese man diagnosed with Zollinger-Elison syndrome (ZES) caused by duodenal and pancreatic gastrinoma associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 1. We avoided TP and chose MSPP as the operative technique due to his relatively young age. The patient developed a grade B postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), which improved with conservative treatment. He was discharged without further treatment. To date, no tumor has recurred, and pancreatic function seems to be maintained. According to a literature review, the morbidity rate of MSPP is as high as 54%, mainly due to the high incidence of POPF (32%). In contrast, there was no perioperative mortality, and postoperative pancreatic function was comparable to that after conventional pancreatectomy. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the high incidence of POPF, MSPP appears to be safe, with low perioperative mortality and good postoperative pancreatic sufficiency.

We aimed to provide an in-depth analysis with respect to three turning points in pancreas involvement in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP): hypercalcemia-induced pancreatitis (HCa-P), MEN1 (multiple endocrine neoplasia)-related neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), and insulin resistance (IR). This was a comprehensive review conducted via a PubMed search between January 2020 and January 2024. HCa-P (n = 9 studies, N = 1375) involved as a starting point parathyroid NETs (n = 7) or pancreatitis (n = 2, N = 167). Case report-focused analysis (N = 27) showed five cases of pregnancy PHP-HCa-P and three reports of parathyroid carcinoma (female/male ratio of 2/1, ages of 34 in women, men of 56). MEN1-NET studies (n = 7) included MEN1-related insulinomas (n = 2) or MEN1-associated PHP (n = 2) or analyses of genetic profile (n = 3), for a total of 877 MEN1 subjects. In MEN1 insulinomas (N = 77), the rate of associated PHP was 78%. Recurrence after parathyroidectomy (N = 585 with PHP) was higher after less-than-subtotal versus subtotal parathyroidectomy (68% versus 45%, p < 0.001); re-do surgery was 26% depending on surgery for pancreatic NETs (found in 82% of PHP patients). MEN1 pathogenic variants in exon 10 represented an independent risk factor for PHP recurrence. A single pediatric study in MEN1 (N = 80) revealed the following: a PHP rate of 80% and pancreatic NET rate of 35% and 35 underlying germline MEN1 pathogenic variants (and 3/35 of them were newly detected). The co-occurrence of genetic anomalies included the following: CDC73 gene variant, glucokinase regulatory protein gene pathogenic variant (c.151C>T, p.Arg51*), and CAH-X syndrome. IR/metabolic feature-focused analysis identified (n = 10, N = 1010) a heterogeneous spectrum: approximately one-third of adults might have had prediabetes, almost half displayed some level of IR as reflected by HOMA-IR > 2.6, and serum calcium was positively correlated with HOMA-IR. Vitamin D deficiency was associated with a higher rate of metabolic syndrome (n = 1). Normocalcemic and mildly symptomatic hyperparathyroidism (n = 6, N = 193) was associated with a higher fasting glucose and some improvement after parathyroidectomy. This multilayer pancreas/parathyroid analysis highlighted a complex panel of connections from pathogenic factors, including biochemical, molecular, genetic, and metabolic factors, to a clinical multidisciplinary panel.

Pancreatic GHRHomas (pGHRHomas) with acromegaly have unique conditions, harboring the existence of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1). Moreover, pituitary lesions are affected by both protracted ectopic GHRH and loss of menin function. Of significance is the clarification of clinicopathological aspects of pGHRHomas in patients with or without MEN 1. From 1977-2016, thirty-six patients with pGHRHomas were reported. Twenty-two out of 36 patients (61%) had pGHRHomas with MEN 1 and 14 patients did not. The former had a tendency of male predominance, benign tumor behavior and fewer metastasis rather than the latter. The latter is a single pGHRHoma accompanied by pituitary enlargement with somatotroph hyperplasia (hyperplasia) caused by protracted ectopic GHRH. Nine patients with MEN 1 underwent transsphenoidal surgery (TSS). The hyperplasia associated with various pituitary adenomas (PAs) including three GH-related adenomas was observed in seven subjects (32%). In these patients, the resection of their pGHRHomas was feasible. Furthermore, all patients with acromegaly due to pGHRHomas without MEN 1 had non-TSS, whereas approximately 70% of those with MEN 1 had unnecessary TSS. The association with hyperplasia and various PAs suggested that formation of the three GH-related adenomas may be induced by the foundations of MEN 1 gene mutations. J. Med. Invest. 71 : 1-8, February, 2024.

BACKGROUND: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) - is a rare syndrome with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern caused by a mutation in the tumor suppressor gene (MEN1). Parathyroid involvement is the most common MEN1 manifestation resulting in primary hyperparathyroidism (mPHPT). Data on the prevalence and structure of bone disease in mPHPT compared to sporadic one (sPHPT) are often incomplete and contradictory. AIM: The purpose of this study was to compare the severity of bone involvement between mPHPT and sPHPT. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A single-center retrospective study was conducted among young patients in the active phase of PHPT and without prior parathyroidectomy in anamnesis. The analysis included the main parameters of calcium-phosphorus metabolism, bone remodeling markers, as well as an assessment of disease complications. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at sites of lumbar spine, femur and radius. Trabecular bone score (TBS) was applied to estimate trabecular microarchitecture. All patients included in the study underwent genetic testing. RESULTS: Group 1 (mPHPT) included 26 patients, and group 2 (sSHPT) included 30 age-matched patients: the median age in group 1 was 34.5 years [25; 39], in group 2 - 30.5 years [28; 36], (p=0.439, U-test). Within group 1, the subgroup 1A (n=21) was formed with patients without other hormone-produced neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) in the gastrointestinal tract (GI) and the anterior pituitary gland. The duration of PHPT was comparable in both groups: mPHPT - 1 year [0; 3] versus sPHPT - 1 year [0; 1], (p=0.533, U-test). There were no differences in the main parameters of calcium-phosphorus metabolism, as well as in the prevalence of kidney complications. In the mPHPT group, bone abnormalities were observed significantly more often compared to sPHPT: 54 vs 10% (p=<0.001; F-test). Statistically significant differences were revealed both in BMD and in Z-score values of the femoral neck and total hip, which were lower in the mPHPT group. These differences remained significant when comparing subgroup 1A with sPHPT. CONCLUSION: MEN1-associated PHPT may be accompanied by a more severe decrease in BMD in the femoral neck and total hip compared to sPHPT regardless of the other hormone-producing NEN. Clarifying the role of mutation in the MEN1 gene in these processes requires further study.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), a rare tumor syndrome, is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, mainly manifested as primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Surgery is preferred for patients with MEN1 and PHPT. Thermal ablation has been widely applied for PHPT but rarely for postoperative recurrent PHPT in MEN1 patients. Based on a series of cases, we aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation in the treatment of MEN1 patients with postoperative recurrence of PHPT.

BACKGROUND: Protein-truncating germline pathogenic variants in the N- and C-terminal exons (2, 9, and 10) of the MEN1 gene may be associated with aggressive pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. However, the impact of these variants on parathyroid disease is poorly understood. We sought to investigate the effects of genotype and surgical approach on clinical phenotype and postoperative outcomes in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1)-related primary hyperparathyroidism. METHODS: We identified patients with MEN1 evaluated at our institution from 1985 to 2020 and stratified them by genotype, (truncating variants in exons 2, 9, or 10, or other variants), and index surgical approach, (less-than-subtotal parathyroidectomy [Assuntos

RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Summarize and analyze the characteristics of patients with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 1 (MEN-1) who were diagnosed with malignant tumors that do not belong to MEN-1 components. METHODS: Clinical data from patients with MEN-1 who visited Peking Union Medical College Hospital between April 2012 and April 2022 were collected. We compared the clinical characteristics of patients with malignant tumors outside of their MEN-1 components to those without additional tumors. MEN-1 gene testing was performed on most of these patients using Sanger sequencing, whole-exome sequencing, or MLPA. RESULTS: A total of 221 MEN-1 patients were diagnosed, of which 23 (10.40%) were found to have malignant tumors that did not belong to MEN-1 components, including papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) (4.52%), breast cancer (1.81%), urologic neoplasms (1.35%), primary hepatic carcinoma (PCC) (0.09%), meningeal sarcoma (0.05%), glioblastoma (0.05%), cervical cancer (0.05%), and lung carcinoma (0.05%). MEN-1 gene mutations were identified in 11 patients, including missense mutations, frameshift mutations, and splice mutations. The prevalence of each endocrine neoplasm, particularly gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, was higher in MEN-1 patients with other malignant tumors compared to MEN-1 patients without malignant tumors. CONCLUSION: Our retrospective study revealed a higher incidence of non-MEN-1 component malignant tumors in MEN-1 patients, especially breast cancer, PTC, and urologic neoplasms. These patients also exhibit more severe clinical phenotypes of MEN-1.

Primary hyperparathyroidism is a common endocrinopathy. Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 (MEN1) is a rare autosomal dominantly inherited endocrine tumor predisposition syndrome, with one of main manifestations being primary hyperparathyroidism. We retrospectively evaluated a set of 1011 patients who underwent surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism between the years 2018-2022, and found 78 (8 %) patients who underwent reoperations and 27 patients with MEN1 syndrome. In the group of patients with MEN1 syndrome, 7 (35 %) needed reoperations. Patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome have a higher risk of needing reoperation. Genetic testing can help identify MEN1 syndrome preoperatively and to better evaluate the approach to surgery.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate frequency, anatomic presentation, and quantities of supernumerary parathyroids glands in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT1) associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), as well as the importance of thymectomy, and the benefits of localizing examinations for those glands. METHODS: Forty-one patients with hyperparathyroidism associated with MEN1 who underwent parathyroidectomy between 1997 and 2007 were retrospectively studied. The location and number of supernumerary parathyroids were reviewed, as well as whether cervical ultrasound and parathyroid SESTAMIBI scan (MIBI) were useful diagnostic tools. RESULTS: In five patients (12.2%) a supernumerary gland was identified. In three of these cases (40%), the glands were near the thyroid gland and were found during the procedure. None of the imaging examinations were able to detect supernumerary parathyroids. In one case, only the pathologic examination could find a microscopic fifth gland in the thymus. In the last case, the supernumerary gland was resected through a sternotomy after a recurrence of hyperparathyroidism, ten years after the initial four-gland parathyroidectomy without thymectomy. MIBI was capable of detecting this gland, but only in the recurrent setting. Cervical ultrasound did not detect any supernumerary glands. CONCLUSION: The frequency of supernumerary parathyroid gland in the HPT1/MEN1 patients studied (12.2%) was significant. Surgeons should be aware of the need to search for supernumerary glands during neck exploration, besides the thymus. Imaging examinations were not useful in the pre-surgical location of these glands, and one case presented a recurrence of hyperparathyroidism.
OBJETIVO: Avaliação da frequência, da localização anatômica e do número de paratireoides extranumerárias em pacientes com hiperparatireoidismo primário (HPT1) associado a neoplasia endócrina múltipla tipo 1(NEM1), além da avaliação da importância da timectomia e da utilidade dos exames radiológicos para localização destes. MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados de forma retrospectiva 41 pacientes portadores de NEM1 com HPT1 submetidos a paratireoidectomia entre 1997 e 2007. O número de glândulas supranumerárias encontradas e a sua localização foram revisados, assim como a utilidade do ultrassom cervical e do SESTAMIBI (MIBI) de paratireoide como ferramentas diagnósticas. RESULTADOS: Em cinco pacientes (12,2%) foram identificadas glândulas supranumerárias. Em três destes (40%), as glândulas estavam próximas à glândula tireoide e foram encontradas durante a exploração cirúrgica. Os exames de imagem não foram úteis para a localização destas glândulas. Em um caso, apenas o exame anatomopatológico foi capaz de encontrar uma glândula extranumerária microscópica localizada no timo. No último caso, uma quinta glândula foi ressecada por meio de esternotomia após a recidiva do hiperparatireoidismo, cerca de 10 anos após a paratireoidectomia realizada sem timectomia na ocasião. Neste caso o MIBI detectou esta paratireoide apenas após a recidiva da doença. Em nenhum dos casos o ultrassom cervical foi capaz de detectar glândulas extranumerárias. CONCLUSÃO: A frequência de paratireoides supranumerárias em nossa casuística foi significativa (12,2%). Durante a exploração cervical, o cirurgião deve estar atento para localizar glândulas extranumerárias além do timo. Exames de imagem não foram úteis na localização préoperatória dessas glândulas, e em um caso houve recidiva do hiperparatireoidismo.

Primary hyperparathyroidism associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type I (hyperparathyroidism/multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1) differs in many aspects from sporadic hyperparathyroidism, which is the most frequently occurring form of hyperparathyroidism. Bone mineral density has frequently been studied in sporadic hyperparathyroidism but it has very rarely been examined in cases of hyperparathyroidism/multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1. Cortical bone mineral density in hyperparathyroidism/multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 cases has only recently been examined, and early, severe and frequent bone mineral losses have been documented at this site. Early bone mineral losses are highly prevalent in the trabecular bone of patients with hyperparathyroidism/multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1. In summary, bone mineral disease in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1related hyperparathyroidism is an early, frequent and severe disturbance, occurring in both the cortical and trabecular bones. In addition, renal complications secondary to sporadic hyperparathyroidism are often studied, but very little work has been done on this issue in hyperparathyroidism/multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1. It has been recently verified that early, frequent, and severe renal lesions occur in patients with hyperparathyroidism/multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1, which may lead to increased morbidity and mortality. In this article we review the few available studies on bone mineral and renal disturbances in the setting of hyperparathyroidism/multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1. We performed a meta-analysis of the available data on bone mineral and renal disease in cases of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1-related hyperparathyroidism.

Most cases of sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism present disturbances in a single parathyroid gland and the surgery of choice is adenomectomy. Conversely, hyperparathyroidism associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (hyperparathyroidism/multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1) is an asynchronic, asymmetrical multiglandular disease and it is surgically approached by either subtotal parathyroidectomy or total parathyroidectomy followed by parathyroid auto-implant to the forearm. In skilful hands, the efficacy of both approaches is similar and both should be complemented by prophylactic thymectomy. In a single academic center, 83 cases of hyperparathyroidism/ multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 were operated on from 1987 to 2010 and our first surgical choice was total parathyroidectomy followed by parathyroid auto-implant to the non-dominant forearm and, since 1997, associated transcervical thymectomy to prevent thymic carcinoid. Overall, 40% of patients were given calcium replacement (mean intake 1.6 g/day) during the first months after surgery, and this fell to 28% in patients with longer follow-up. These findings indicate that several months may be needed in order to achieve a proper secretion by the parathyroid auto-implant. Hyperparathyroidism recurrence was observed in up to 15% of cases several years after the initial surgery. Thus, long-term follow-up is recommended for such cases. We conclude that, despite a tendency to subtotal parathyroidectomy worldwide, total parathyroidectomy followed by parathyroid auto-implant is a valid surgical option to treat hyperparathyroidism/multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1. Larger comparative systematic studies are needed to define the best surgical approach to hyperparathyroidism/multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1.
