Young's syndrome, also known as azoospermia sinopulmonary infections, sinusitis-infertility syndrome and Barry-Perkins-Young syndrome, is a rare condition that encompasses a combination of syndromes such as bronchiectasis, rhinosinusitis and reduced male fertility.
Many endocrine tumors in MEN1 are benign and cause symptoms by overproduction of hormones or local mass effects, while other MEN1 tumors are associated with an elevated risk for malignancy. About one-third of patients affected with MEN1 will die early from MEN1-related cancer or associated malignancy.
Usually the ulcers are multiple or atypical in location, and often bleed, perforate, or become obstructed. Peptic ulcer disease may be intractable and complicated. Among patients presenting with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, 20 to 60% have MEN 1. A severe secretory diarrhea can develop and cause fluid and electrolyte depletion with non–β-cell ...
Lynch syndrome is a common cause of early-onset cancer, such as gastrointestinal cancer and uterine cancer. It may play a role in cancer rising in young people.
This syndrome is particularly associated with pancreatic, gastric and lung cancer and Trousseau's syndrome can be an early sign of cancer [2] [3] sometimes appearing months to years before the tumor would be otherwise detected. [4] Heparin therapy is recommended to prevent future clots. [5]
Without thyroidectomy, almost all patients with MEN2B develop medullary thyroid cancer, in a more aggressive form than MEN 2A. [13] [19] The ideal age for surgery is 4 years old or younger, since cancer may metastasize before age 10.
