Introduction: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is an autosomal-dominant hereditary disorder characterized by the presence of two of the three main endocrine tumors that are parathyroid, pituitary adenomas and enteropancreatic tumors.

Case-report: We report a case of a 71-year-old obese patient with repeated unsuccessful attempts to weight loss who was admitted to the surgical department for the bariatric treatment of obesity (BMI=48,22 kg/m2); the preoperatory evaluation discovered hyperparathyroidism and an adrenal adenoma. Evaluated in the laşi Endocrinological Department, was diagnosticated also with non-functional pituitary macroadenoma and anterior pituitary insufficiency, two non-functional neuroendocrine pancreatic tumors and Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis. He underwent minim invasive partial parathyroidectomy due to high calcium level with local anesthesia, but with recurrence of hyperparathyroidism after 6 months. He initially refused pituitary or pancreatic surgery, now is reconsidering pituitary surgery due to high anesthesic risk for the next subtotal parathyroidectomy. The pancreatic tumors was nonsecreting and no evolutive signs during 2 years. Family investigation revealed son with primary hyperparathyroidism (operated) and prolactinoma (Cabergoline), one daughter with primary hyperparathyroidism (operated) and pituitary prolactinoma (Cabergoline) and one daughter with hyperprolactinemia. The grandchildren were clinical investigated (no endocrine tumors) and genetical tested.

Conclusions: We reported a rare case of familial syndrome of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 1 and simultaneous occurrence of bilateral adrenal adenomas and Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis in a patient clinically diagnosed as having MEN type 1.

Keywords: Multiple endocrine neoplasia 1, primary hyperparathyroidism, prolactinoma, Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis.
