Colonic manifestations of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B: report of four cases. uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B is best known for its endocrine manifestations and typical phenotype. The gastrointestinal manifestations, however, are also an important and commonly unrecognized component of the syndrome. We present four cases that demonstrate the varied presentation of patients with colonic manifestations of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B. We discuss the cause, diagnostic significance, and management of the colonic disease that is a component of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B.
