A 49-year-old female with multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 1 associated with malignant lymphoma, lipoma, functioning adenomatous goiter, non-functioning adrenal tumor, polyneuropathy, postoperative primary hyperparathyroidism, and hepatitis B virus was a human T lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) carrier. She underwent parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism at age 44. At age 49, examinations of the enlarged para-aortic lymph nodes revealed diffuse small non-cleaved B cell lymphoma in stage II, and other various complications were also found. Multiple tumorigenetic factors were considered to be involved in the present case.

A patient with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) who manifested various MEN1-unrelated tumors was reported. The patient was a 43-year-old woman who manifested typical features of MEN1 including primary hyperparathyroidism, prolactinoma, adrenal adenoma and visceral lipomas. During the course, she also manifested chondrosarcoma, B cell lymphoma and mesothelioma. The patient had no apparent family history of MEN1 or any other neoplastic diseases. Genetic analysis of DNA from peripheral mononuclear cells of the patient revealed no germline mutations in MEN1 gene. Genetic instability due to yet unidentified cause is the possible explanation of occurrence of multiple tumors. Careful periodic screening of endocrine and other disorders for her siblings and children as well as for the patient is warranted.
