PG - 455-64 AB - Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN-1) is an inherited syndrome which is characterized by the occurrence of neoplastic lesions in the parathyroids, the pancreas, duodenum, anterior pituitary and, less commonly, also in the stomach, thymus and lung. Its genetic defect has recently been identified and appears to involve a new type of tumour suppressor gene called mu on chromosome 11q13. In this overview, we will summarize the morphological features of the MEN-1 phenotype, discuss its clinicopathologic profile and prognosis and outline the recent findings on the molecular pathology of this syndrome.
