Abstract

|
|
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN type 2, Sipple´s syndrome) is a rare disorder characterized by the association of medullary carcinoma of the thyroid, parathyroid hyperplasia and can be diagonsed in early stage of the disease by meticulous screening tests of the famiiy. This case report describes the location and categorization of tumors using 99mTc-pertechnetate, I -NaI, 99mTc-pentavalent(V) DMSA, 131I -MIBG scans in two cases of MEN type 2 occurred in a 32 year old women and her 29-year old brother. In MEN type 2, we think, combined use of 99mTc-(V)-DMSA, Tc-pertechnetate and 131I -MIBG may be useful for the categorization of tumor mass lesions and planning appropriate therapy.
