ABSTRACT
Neuromas of the eyelid margin and lower lip were diagnosed in a 29-year-old man. As the combination of these lesions is indicative of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2b (MEN2b) syndrome, the presence of a medullary thyroid carcinoma or a pheochromocytoma were excluded by a systematic work-up. A mutation in the RET proto-oncogene was not found by genetic testing. In summary, the patient presented with neuromas on the eyelid margin and lower lip without an association to a syndrome; however, patients with such neuromas should be screened for MEN2b syndrome due to the high mortality.
