Background: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a syndrome characterized by pituitary neoplasia, primary hyperparathyroidism and pancreatic endocrine tumor. Here we show a case of MEN1 with a germline frameshift mutation in its gene accompanied by a giant cervical lipoma and multiple fatty deposits in the pancreas.
Case Presentation: A 28-year-old man noticed the decreased visual acuity of both eyes and visited our institution. Since he was diagnosed as visual disturbance and brain computer tomography (CT) showed a mass in the pituitary fossa, he was hospitalized in our institution. Endoscopic trans-sphenoidal hypophysectomy and total parathyroidectomy with auto-transplantation were performed, and a giant cervical lipoma was resected. Furthermore, in genetic search, we found a germline frameshift mutation in MEN1 gene leading to the appearance of a new stop codon.
Conclusions: We should bear in m ind that giant skin lipoma and multiple abnormal fatty deposits in the pancreas could be complicated with MEN1.
