Two Different Pituitary Adenomas in a Patient with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 Associated with Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone-Producing Pancreatic Tumor: Clinical and Genetic Features.

Abstract excerpt

The clinical and genetic features of a 43-year-old male patient with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 were reported. He developed hyperparathyroidism, a GHRH-producing pancreatic tumor, and acromegaly between 1980 and 1983.
