TI  - Type B1 thymoma in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN-1) syndrome.
PG  - 266-8
AB  - AIMS AND BACKGROUND: Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndromes include a group 
      of disorders characterized by the neoplastic transformation of two or more 
      endocrine tissues. In type 1 syndrome (MEN-1), pituitary, parathyroid and 
      pancreatic islet tumors are most frequently represented. Thymic neoplasms are 
      also rarely associated, and thymectomy during subtotal or total parathyroidectomy 
      should always be considered. STUDY DESIGN: The authors describe a rare case of a 
      22-year-old male who presented a type B1 thymoma without myasthenia gravis 
      associated to hyperparathyroidism, corticoadrenal adenoma and three 
      neuroendocrine pancreatic lesions (somatostatinoma, glucagonoma and insulinoma).
