AB Multiple  endocrine  neoplasia  (MEN)  syndrome  is  defined  as  a  disorder  with  neoplasms  in  two  or  more  different  hormonal  tissues  in  several  members  of  a  family.  Several  distinct  genetic  disorders  predispose  to  endocrine  gland  neoplasia  and  cause  hormone  excess  syndromes  (Table  50-1).  DNA-based  genetic  testing  is  available  for  these  disorders,  but  effective  management  requires  an  understanding  of  endocrine  neoplasia  and  the  range  of  clinical  features  that  may  be  manifested  in  an  individual  patient.
