title: [The imaging features of multiple endocrine neoplasia].
abstract: The article describes ultrasonographic (US), computed tomographic (CT), 99mTc-MIBI and angiographic findings of 16 cases of multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) confirmed by operations and pathological examinations. Hyperparathyroidism either was the first manifestation of MEN I or was diagnosed simultaneously with other tumors. Medullary thyroid carcinoma usually developed first or coincided with pheochromocytoma in MEN I. Regular US and CT screening can lead to the detection of new endocrine neoplasia. The authors consider that US and CT are the best imaging methods for MEN.
