N2 - Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 is an autosomal dominantly inherited syndrome. MEN1 is characterized by the occurrence of tumors of the parathyroid glands, the pancreatic islets, the anterior pituitary gland, and the adrenal glands, as well as neuroendocrine tumors in the thymus, lungs, and stomach, often at a young age. Nonendocrine manifestations of MEN1 include angiofibromas, collagenomas, lipomas, leiomyomas, and meningiomas. The prevalence of MEN1 is two to three per 100,000, and is equal among males and females. MEN1 and multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) are two distinct syndromes. In MEN2, patients frequently develop medullary thyroid carcinoma and adrenal medullary tumors (pheochromocytoma).
