multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (men1)

What are the common symptoms of MEN1 in children?

The symptoms of MEN1 in children can vary widely, depending on which endocrine glands are affected. Common symptoms may include:
Hyperparathyroidism: This leads to elevated levels of calcium in the blood, causing symptoms such as bone pain, kidney stones, fatigue, and gastrointestinal issues.
Pituitary tumors: These can result in hormonal imbalances that affect growth, puberty, and other bodily functions.
Pancreatic tumors: These can either be non-functional or functional, leading to symptoms like hypoglycemia or peptic ulcers.
