A rare presentation of multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 2A syndrome

Abstract

Peptic ulcer disease may be a manifestation of symptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism. A case of an intractable complicated peptic ulcer disease secondary to hypercalcaemia from multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A is presented. Hypercalcaemia should always be excluded as a cause of recurrent, or complicated peptic ulcer disease.

Keywords: Hypercalcaemia; Multiple endocrine neoplasia; Peptic ulcer.
