Abstract
Background: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a rare autosomal dominant tumor syndrome with a high degree of heterogeneity in clinical phenotypes, generally involving the parathyroid, anterior pituitary, and enteropancreas. In recent years, several new insights into the clinical features of MEN1 have been reported in the literature. However, it is not clear whether MEN1-associated primary tumors can occur in the liver. Case presentation: We report the case of a 52-year-old man with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 diagnosed by genetic sequencing. After uniportal thoracoscopic right middle lobectomy, laparoscopic radical resection of the liver tumors, and radiofrequency ablation of the parathyroid space, the parathyroid hormone level decreased from 177 pg/ml to a normal level (20 pg/ml). No local tumor recurrence was observed during a follow-up of 5 months. Conclusion: We report the first case of MEN1 with simultaneous liver and lung involvement in which the patient underwent radical resection of the tumors, and we propose the possibility that the liver and other nonendocrine organs may also develop diseases associated with MEN1; although, this view needs further verification. Gene detection has crucial clinical significance for guiding diagnosis and treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
