Neural crest tumour syndromes.
Cells eminating from the embryological neural crest can create different neoplasias, some of them endocrinological active and sometimes multiple (MEN or MEA). The relationship between these conditions and multiple neurofibromas is pointed out. Three cases of MEA which have been operated on at Huddinge Hospital are presented.
