W2L10 Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia and Autoimmune Disorders Flashcards
Def men?
- Disorder w neoplasm in >=2 dif hormonal tissues in several members of fam
- Usually early age
- 3 well-defined MEN syndromes – MEN 1, MEN 2a, MEN 2b
Etio men1
- Autosomal dominant trait
- 3rd/4th decade
- MEN1 MC
- High incidence foregut carcinoids
- Skin lesion(lipoma, facial angiofibroma)
- Race(unknown)
- Sex(M=F)
The men1 is characterized by
- Neoplasia Parathyroid gland(90%)
- EnteroPancreatic tumor(80%)
- Ant Pituitary adenomas(55%)
- Adrenal adenoma(30%)
- Non endocrine tumours
Men 1. Patho
Inactivate mutation of tumor-suppressor gene MEN1 located at chromosome 11
Etio Primary hyperparathyroidism
- MC manifest MEN1 (95–100%)
- Hypercalcemia-teenage (hyperplasia parathy gla)
- Most aff 40y (adenoma parathy gla)
SS Primary hyperparathyroidism
- Ca-containing kidney stone
- Kidney failure
- Nephrocalcinosis
- Bone abn(osteoporosis)
- GIT & musculoskeletal complaint
Treatment Primary hyperparathyroidism
Criteria surgery
- Individual w s ca lvl >12 mg/dL
- Ca nephrolithiasis/ renal dysfx
- Neuropathic/muscular symptoms
- Bone involve(osteopenia)
- <50y
Enteropancreatic tumors
- 2nd MC MEN1,
- 30% malignant
- Parallel w hyperparathyroidism
- Tumor secrete peptide hormone coz specific cli syn
List Enteropancreatic tumors
- Gastrinoma(MC)
- Insulinoma(25%)(2nd MC)
- Glucagonoma(occasion)
- VIPoma(1%)
- coz profuse watery diarrhea - Somatostatinoma(0.7%)
- coz dm, steatorrhea
Gastrinoma
- Result ZES
- ZES coz by excess gastrin prod
- > 1/2 of MEN1
- > 1 gastrin-prod tumor(localize difficult)
Manifestation gastrinomas
- Esophagitis
- Duodenal ulcer
- Ulcers involve proximal jejunum
- Diarrhea
Diag gastrinoma
- Inc gastric acid secretion
- Inc basal gastrin lvl in serum >115 pmol/L
Insulinomas etio & diagnosis
- Most originate in panc bed
- MC pancic tumor in MEN1
- May benign/malig
Diag
- Hypoglycemia(short fast)
- Elevate s insulin & C-peptide lvl
- CT/MRI(large)
- Intraoperative ultrasonography.
Glucagonoma manifest & diag
- Manifestation:
- coz syn hyperglycemia,skin rash
- anorexia, glossitis, anemia, depression, diarrhea, venous thrombosis - Diagnosis(glucagon lvl high)
Pituitary tumors(20-30%) ss?
- Prolactinoma(MC)
- Acromegaly
- Cushing
TTT of Pituitary Tumors
- Prolactinomas w dopamine agonists (bromocriptine, cabergoline, quinagolide)=return s prolactin lvl to normal
- Surgical resection(xcure but relieve mass eff)
Nonendocrine tumor
- Small facial angiofibroma
- Subcutaneous lipoma
- Collagenoma(firm dermal nodule)
Adrenal adenomas /hyperplasia
- 50% bilateral.
- Benign & nonfunctional
MEN 2A (Sipple’s Syndrome)
- Rare familial multiglandular syn(autosomal dominant trait)
- Mutate on chromosome 10
- 1st-degree relative may RET mutation
Manifestations men2
- Medullary thy carcinoma(>90%)
- Hyperparathyroidism(20–50%), due hyperplasia/multiple adenomas(70%)
- Pheochromocytomas(20–35%)
- Hirschsprung’s diseas
Laboratory Studies men2
- Pentagastrin calcitonin stimulation test(medullary gland)
- Urinary catecholamines & metanephrines screen(pheochromocytoma)
- S ca & PTH lvl(hyperparathyroidism)
- CT/MRI(adrenal)
Treatment men 2
- MTC : Total thyroidectomy
- Thy hormone(hypothyroidism)
MEN 2B
Familial, autosomal dominant multiglandular syn coz by mutation of (RET) on chromosome 10
MEN 2B is characterized by
- Mucosal neuromas (> 90%) w bumpy, enlarged lip & tongue
- Marfan-likehabitus(75%)
- Adrenal pheochromocytomas(60%)
- medullarythyroidcarcinoma(80%)
- intestinal ganglioneuromas
- skeletal abn(87%)
- delay puberty(43%)
