Management and Long-Term Follow-Up of Hyperparathyroidism in Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1: Single Center Experience
Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in the most common and earliest manifestation of multiple endocrine neoplasia type-1 (MEN1). Epidemiological data have been reported in MEN1 patients but data on long-term follow-up focusing on PHPT are scarce. Methods: In this retrospective cohort stud...

Sumario: | Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in the most common and earliest manifestation of multiple endocrine neoplasia type-1 (MEN1). Epidemiological data have been reported in MEN1 patients but data on long-term follow-up focusing on PHPT are scarce. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we included patients diagnosed with MEN1-related PHPT that were under regular follow-up in our institution. Results: Data on 68 patients (39 males), with a mean age at MEN1-diagnosis of 39 ± 13.06 years, were analyzed. Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors were encountered in 82% (71% nonsecreting) followed by pituitary adenomas in 66% (49% nonsecreting). Mean age at PHPT diagnosis was 35.2 ± 4.0 years. Parathyroidectomy was performed in 57 patients (82.3%), of whom 56% achieved long-term remission, while 12.2% and 31.5% had persistent and recurrent disease, respectively (median follow-up of 4 years; range 1–21 years). Cinacalcet restored serum calcium levels in 33.8%, both as first and as a second line treatment. Permanent hypoparathyroidism occurred in 19.2%. MEN1 pathogenic variants were identified in 77.2% of the tested individuals, but no genotype-phenotype associations were reported. Conclusions: MEN1-related PHPT involves a multiglandular disease and its management remains a therapeutic challenge, as recurrent disease can develop even after 20 years of follow-up. Prolonged follow-up of these patients at referral centers is critical for their optimal management. |
