AB  - We present a case of malignant carcinoid initially diagnosed as rosacea. This 
      patient was later found to have an additional functioning parathyroid tumour. 
      Although a pituitary tumour was not identified, the association represents a 
      probable case of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1). This autosomal 
      dominant syndrome is characterized by tumours of the pancreas, parathyroid and 
      pituitary. Inoperable carcinoid tumour is best treated with a long-acting 
      somatostatin analogue, octreotide. A diagnosis of MEN 1 has important 
      connotations for the proband's first-degree relatives, who should be entered into 
      an appropriate screening programme.
