title: [Generalized calcinosis of the internal organs associated with multiple endocrine adenomatosis].
abstract: A rare observation of associated universal calcinosis of the internal organs and multiple adenomatosis is described. The patient was diagnosed to have renal cystadenoma with a high content of neutral lipids in the cells; medullary thyroid carcinoma; nodular adrenal hyperplasia; microadenoma of eosinophilic cells and basophilic cell hyperplasia of the anterior hypophysis; microgangliocytoma of the hypophyseal peduncle; atrophy of the parathyroid gland. Symptoms of hypercalcemia, hypercorticoidism, and some features of the carcinoid syndrome were clinically observed. It is suggested that the clinical symptoms were due to the increased production of vitamin D3 active metabolites by the renal tumour.
