Abstract:Sipple syndrome (MEN-2A) is a tumor syndrome that can affect multiple endocrine organs simultaneously or sequentially. As a rare familial inherited disease, it is associated with mutations in the RET gene located on the autosome. The RET gene is usually expressed on thyroid C cells, chromaffin cells and parathyroid cells, so Sipple syndrome is easily missed as one or more of Medullary carcinoma of the thyroid gland (MTC), pheochromocytoma (PHEO) and primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). One patient was admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine with a left adrenal mass, with the typical PHEO symptoms: palpitations and hyperhidrosis. During the diagnosis and treatment, multiple endocrine organs (adrenal, pancreas, parathyroid, thyroid) and non-endocrine organs (left femur) were found in the diagnosis, and MEN (multiple endocrine neoplasia) were diagnosed. MEN includes MEN-1 caused by mutation of MEN-1 gene and MEN-2 caused by mutation of RET gene.Aim to definite diagnosis, the patient took RET gene test and MEN-1 gene test after the surgery. The results were reported as MEN-2A caused by RET gene mutation. The lesions of Sipple syndrome often involve the adrenal, thyroid and parathyroid glands, so early diagnosis depends on the localization and qualitative diagnosis of pheochromocytoma, medullary thyroid carcinoma, and parathyroid adenoma. RET gene is the gold standard for the diagnosis of Sipple syndrome,and surgery is the main treatment for it.
