Case report explores multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B, highlighting its genetic basis and tumor risks.
Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2 (MEN2) is a rare autosomal dominant neoplastic syndrome resulting from RET gene mutations, marked by medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) and increased risk of other endocrine tumors. MEN2 includes subtypes MEN2A, MEN2B, and familial MTC. Prophylactic thyroidectomy is recommended for MEN2A due to high MTC risk.
