Abstract
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a syndrome characterized by the occurrence of two or more endocrine gland tumors. Here, we show a case of a 52-year-old man diagnosed with MEN1 through gastrinoma, parathyroid adenoma and gene detection. The MEN1 patient’s case was complicated with relapsed primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), and they received ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA). The patient had a remarkable recovery after RFA treatment for the relapsed PHPT. It might be an alternative treatment for MEN1 patients with poor conditions such as high surgical risk, unwillingness to choose parathyroid surgery or those unable to tolerate surgery. Individualized therapy significantly benefits the prognosis of MEN1 patients.
