    Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type I (MEN I) is rare, with hyperparathyroidism and pituitary/pancreatic hypersecretion being common. Treatments included surgery and medication, with a surprisingly benign patient course observed.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Genetics
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type I (MEN I) is a rare genetic disorder.
    • This study reviews cases diagnosed at Groote Schuur Hospital between 1970-1983.
    • The prevalence of MEN I in the local population was assessed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the incidence and clinical presentation of MEN I.
    • To describe the endocrine associations and management strategies.
    • To evaluate the prognosis of MEN I patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 7 MEN I cases diagnosed over 13 years.
    • Analysis of clinical data, endocrine associations, and treatment outcomes.
    • Surgical interventions and medical management documented.

    Main Results:

    • Hyperparathyroidism (6 cases), pituitary hypersecretion (6 cases), and pancreatic hypersecretion (3 cases) were the primary endocrine associations.
    • Surgical treatment for hyperparathyroidism achieved normocalcaemia in most cases.
    • Medical management with bromocriptine was effective for persistent prolactinaemia.

    Conclusions:

    • MEN I appears to be rare in the studied population.
    • Clinical manifestations are diverse, depending on the affected endocrine glands.
    • Despite aggressive components, MEN I patients experienced a relatively benign clinical course with good survival rates.
