📋Overview
Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia involves a group of rare genetic conditions that cause tumors to form in various hormone-producing glands throughout the body. These syndromes are primarily categorized into distinct types, such as type 1 and type 2, which are defined by specific genetic mutations and the specific glands involved.
The clinical presentation often involves the parathyroid, pancreas, pituitary, thyroid, or adrenal glands, where tumors may be benign or malignant. Because these conditions are hereditary, they frequently affect multiple members of the same family and require specialized clinical monitoring.
