Preferred Label : multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2b;

MeSH definition : Similar to MEN2A, it is also caused by mutations of the MEN2 gene, also known as the RET proto-oncogene. Its clinical symptoms include medullary carcinoma (CARCINOMA, MEDULLARY) of THYROID GLAND and PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA of ADRENAL MEDULLA (50%). Unlike MEN2a, MEN2b does not involve PARATHYROID NEOPLASMS. It can be distinguished from MEN2A by its neural abnormalities such as mucosal NEUROMAS on EYELIDS; LIP; and TONGUE, and ganglioneuromatosis of GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT leading to MEGACOLON. It is an autosomal dominant inherited disease.;

MeSH synonym : neoplasia, multiple endocrine type 2b; men2b; men iib; neuroma syndrome, mucosal; mea 2b; mea iib; mucosal neuroma syndrome; men 2b; mucosal neuroma syndromes; multiple endocrine neoplasms type 2b; neoplasms, multiple endocrine type 2b; men 3; men iii; Wagenmann-Froboese syndrome; syndrome, Wagenmann-Froboese; wagenmann froboese syndrome; multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 2b; neuromata, mucosal, with endocrine tumors; multiple endocrine neoplasia, type IIb;

MeSH annotation : coordinate IM with specific endocrine/neoplasm pre-coordinates (IM) specific histological type (IM) if pertinent;
