Hypoglycemia is a well recognized cause of acute symptomatic seizures. The fact that hypoglycemia can cause peripheral neuropathy is less appreciated. We describe a case of insulinoma associated peripheral neuropathy. A 17 year-old previously healthy man was referred for investigation of refractory
Transient character of laboratory abnormalities is usually explained as a false result of estimation. Spontaneous disappearance of laboratory abnormalities could be recognized as non-important and contradicting serious disease. Presented case of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1) denies
Multiple endocrine neoplasia-type 1 (MEN1) is an autosomal dominant familial cancer syndrome characterized by parathyroid hyperplasia, pancreatic endocrine tumours and pituitary adenomas. Here, we report a patient with a history of insulinoma who developed secondary infertility as a further symptom
OBJECTIVE
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) can occur either as a sporadic case or in association with syndromes such as multiple endocrine neoplasia. Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a rare autosomal-dominant disease resulting from mutations in MEN1 gene encoding a 621 amino acid long
BACKGROUND
Diagnosis of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is commonly based on clinical criteria, and confirmed by genetic testing. In patients without known MEN1-related germline mutations, the possibility of a casual association between two or more endocrine tumors cannot be excluded and
Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) mutation is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the occurrence of parathyroid, pancreatic islet, and anterior pituitary tumors. The incidence of insulinoma in MEN is relatively uncommon, and there have been a few cases of MEN manifested with insulinoma
We report the use of a genetic test for therapeutic decision making in a case of primary hyperparathyroidism associated with Cushing's disease (CD). A 20-year-old woman was evaluated for gradual weight gain, asthenia, muscle pain, and hypertension. Biochemical and radiologic tests confirmed CD and
Thrombosis of the left subclavian vein occurred in a 44-year-old man. It was found to be caused by an atypical thymus carcinoid of the anterior mediastinum without carcinoid syndrome. Primary resection was not possible, but it was removed after three cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with
A 23-year-old male was referred to our hospital for evaluation of new-onset seizures. Signs and symptoms of neuroglycopenia, including weakness, dizziness, and confusion, appeared during fasting and resolved promptly with intravenous dextrose administration. Insulin, proinsulin, and C-peptide levels
BACKGROUND
Presentation of the ischemic stroke due to vasoactive intestinal peptide producing tumor (VIPoma) or Verner Morrison syndrome is rare. This is first of its kind case which we are reporting here which was later turned out to be multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1) syndrome with
Introduction: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is an autosomal dominantly inherited endocrine tumor syndrome characterized by the development of cancer in various endocrine organs, particularly in the pituitary, parathyroid and pancreas. Moreover, in some cases, also non-endocrine
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is characterized by excessive PTH secretion in respect to calcium homeostasis needs, due to parathyroid adenoma (80% of cases), hyperplasia (15-20%), or carcinoma (1-2%). In familial forms of PHPT, several mutations have an established role: menin gene for MEN type
Thymic carcinoid is a rare multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1)-associated tumour that is a major cause of death in MEN1 patients. Here, we describe a previously unreported MEN1 family in which two siblings presented with malignant thymic carcinoids. All six siblings share a novel nonsense
Classical primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) was a multisystem disorder with clear neurologic, psychiatric, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular consequences. The nature and extent of involvement of these target organs in the modern presentation of the disease are controversial. Although
