    This report details a rare case of multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) with both an insulin-producing islet cell tumor and an adrenal adenoma. Diagnostic imaging revealed complementary strengths, with CT excelling at adrenal visualization and angiography at pancreatic tumor detection.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Oncology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia (MEN) syndromes involve inherited genetic predispositions to developing tumors in endocrine glands.
    • Unusual combinations of endocrine tumors can present diagnostic challenges.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with an uncommon co-occurrence of an insulin-producing islet cell tumor and an adrenal adenoma.
    • Computed Tomography (CT) effectively visualized the adrenal mass.
    • Angiography successfully identified the pancreatic tumor, though adrenal findings were less distinct.

    Findings:

    • The case highlights the complementary roles of CT and angiography in diagnosing coexisting adrenal and pancreatic lesions in MEN.
    • Imaging modalities may offer differential sensitivity for detecting specific endocrine tumors.

    Implications:

    • Accurate and timely diagnosis of combined endocrine tumors is crucial for effective patient management and treatment.
    • Understanding the imaging characteristics of different endocrine neoplasms aids in diagnosis and localization.
