Multiple endocrine neoplasia type II (MEN2) is also known as mucosal neuroma syndrome or multiple endocrine adenomatosis. It is a collection of syndromes characterized by the presence of multiple endocrine tumors.
They are autosomal dominant in inheritance, and share medullary thyroid carcinoma as a feature. They are divided into:
- MEN2a (Sipple syndrome)
- MEN2b (mucosal neuroma syndrome)
- familial medullary thyroid carcinoma
