These two unrelated patients—a 14-year-old boy (left) and a 23-year-old woman (right)—have the same disease.
An inherited, autosomal dominant disease characterized by medullary thyroid carcinoma, pheochromocytoma, and mucosalneuromas, associated at times with prognathism, puffy lips, and bony abnormalities. Both of these patients had surgically treated medullary thyroidcarcinoma, neuromas of the tongue and lips, and prognathism. Neither, however, had any evidence, as yet, of adrenal disease.
