An unusual case of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 and the role of 111In-pentetreotide scintigraphy.
A 50-year-old woman is described with a very unusual combination of MEN-1 syndrome with a negative family history. At first she had been treated because of a clinically non-functioning pituitary adenoma in the maxillary sinus. Six years later a carcinoid tumour was discovered by means of 111In-pentreotide scintigraphy.
