A 10-year-old girl was admitted displaying a medullary thyroid carcinoma, accompanying neurinomas of the tongue, marfanoid habitus, megacolon, and scoliosis. Although her adrenal glands were found to be unremarkable on both CT and ultrasonogram examination an MIBG scintiscan showed a 131-1 uptake, suggesting the presence of medullary hyperplasia. Remarkable nodal involvement with invasive features witnessed in the upper mediastinum during tertiary surgery four years later, following a total thyroidectomy. The TCT and CEA profiling was not sufficient enough to predict a recurrence. At the present state there is difficulty in providing an early diagnosis; through node dissection, however, is considered to be necessary at time of primary thyroid operation in cases with MEN type 2b.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009377 Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia A group of autosomal dominant diseases characterized by the combined occurrence of tumors involving two or more ENDOCRINE GLANDS that secrete PEPTIDE HORMONES or AMINES. These neoplasias are often benign but can be malignant. They are classified by the endocrine glands involved and the degree of aggressiveness. The two major forms are MEN1 and MEN2 with gene mutations on CHROMOSOME 11 and CHROMOSOME 10, respectively.

D009442 Neurilemmoma A neoplasm that arises from SCHWANN CELLS of the cranial, peripheral, and autonomic nerves. Clinically, these tumors may present as a cranial neuropathy, abdominal or soft tissue mass, intracranial lesion, or with spinal cord compression. Histologically, these tumors are encapsulated, highly vascular, and composed of a homogenous pattern of biphasic fusiform-shaped cells that may have a palisaded appearance.
