AI Article Synopsis

  • Duodenopancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasia (DP-NEN) is found in about 10% of cases of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) and can indicate a diagnosis of MEN1.
  • A case was presented where the development of NEN prompted investigation into MEN1, although genetic testing revealed a variant of uncertain significance (VUS).
  • MEN1 can have various clinical symptoms, with DP-NEN being the second most prevalent after primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT), highlighting the need to consider MEN1 as a potential underlying cause of NEN.

Article Abstract

Duodenopancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasia (DP-NEN) is in approximately 10% of cases of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1). We encountered a case in which the onset of NEN led to suspicion and diagnosis of MEN1. Although genetic testing showed variant of uncertain significance (VUS), we considered it pathological from the clinical course, promoting the provision of genetic counseling and screening for relatives. MEN1 has a variety of clinical manifestations, and DP-NENs are the second-most common manifestation after primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). It is important to assume that MEN1 is an underlying cause of NEN.
