MEN1 and pituitary adenomas
-Delemer B. Service d’endocrinologie-diabète-nutrition

"MEN1 [pituitary] tumors seem more aggressive, invasive and resistant to treatment requiring a very careful long-life follow-up. Occurrence of these tumors can be described in the pediatric population and it can be the first and only manifestation of MEN1 for some years asking the question of the systematic screening for MEN1 gene mutation in pediatric population with pituitary adenoma."
