Abstract
We describe for the first time the case of a woman presenting with Tatton-Brown-Rahman syndrome (TBRS) and multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN). She developed primary hyperparathyroidism at age 13, a pituitary cyst at age 14, adrenal tumor at age 21, and metastatic insulinoma at age 34. In addition, she showed intellectual disability, obesity, multiple lipomas, facial dysmorphia, hemihypertrophy and kyphoscoliosis. At age 35, genome analysis revealed a pathogenic de-novo heterozygous germline DNMT3A variant, while classic MEN syndromes were ruled out by targeted somatic and germline genetic testing. This case highlights not only the importance of genomic analysis in patients with multiple and atypical conditions, but also the need for a multidisciplinary approach for TBRS patients, including in adulthood, involving endocrinologists to enhance understanding and optimize monitoring of this syndrome.
期刊介绍:
The Annales d''Endocrinologie, mouthpiece of the French Society of Endocrinology (SFE), publishes reviews, articles and case reports coming from clinical, therapeutic and fundamental research in endocrinology and metabolic diseases. Every year, it carries a position paper by a work-group of French-language endocrinologists, on an endocrine pathology chosen by the Society''s Scientific Committee. The journal is also the organ of the Society''s annual Congress, publishing a summary of the symposia, presentations and posters. "Les Must de l''Endocrinologie" is a special booklet brought out for the Congress, with summary articles that are always very well received. And finally, we publish the high-level instructional courses delivered during the Henri-Pierre Klotz International Endocrinology Days. The Annales is a window on the world, keeping alert clinicians up to date on what is going on in diagnosis and treatment in all the areas of our specialty.
