A novel mutation of the MEN1 gene in a patient with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 and recurrent fibromyxoid sarcoma - a case report.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) syndrome is usually accompanied by endocrine tumors, but non-endocrine tumors can occur as well. However, the coexistence of MEN1 syndrome and malignant tumor such as low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma has not been described in the literature. Moreover, the MEN1 gene mutations have not been identified in patients with fibromyxoid sarcoma, so far. CASE PRESENTATION:We present a patient with a long-year endocrine follow-up due to multiple endocrine tumors. During his lifespan, he has been surgically treated for pancreatic gastrinoma, parathyroid hyperplasia, atypical pulmonary carcinoid, various benign mesenchymal, and several skin tumors (basocellular tumor, lipomas, and fibromas) which raised a high clinical suspicion of MEN1 syndrome but the patient refused genetic testing. Recently, he developed a novel malignant tumor - recurrent low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma of the trunk and extremities with multiple subsequent operations. The patient eventually accepted the genetic testing which proved him to be a carrier of a novel mutation in the MEN1 gene. CONCLUSIONS:Unlike some other syndromes where a genetic mutation can predict clinical course, there is no genotype-phenotype correlation in MEN1 syndrome. Therefore, these patients require lifelong and multidisciplinary surveillance, not only for typical endocrine and benign non-endocrine tumors but also for diverse and even more malignant forms. The atypical clinical presentation should pose suspicion about new gene mutation and serve as a warning in the further follow-up.
