Note

  • general or unspecified; prefer specifics; coordinate IM with specific endocrine/neoplasm pre-coordinates (IM) + specific histological type (IM) if pertinent

Scope note

  • 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.

History note

  • 95; was NEOPLASMS, MULTIPLE ENDOCRINE 1983-94; was ADENOMATOSIS, FAMILIAL ENDOCRINE 1965-82 (Prov 1964)
