Day 3 - Healthy Anime

Continuing with MEN Syndromes, we will cover MEN2B.

MEN2B does not have any other special names. Patients with MEN2B have just 1 P: Pheochromocytoma. However, they also tend to have medullary thyroid carcinoma which secrete calcitonin, and some oral/intestinal ganglioneuromatosis ie mucosal neuromas in the nasopharynx, oropharynx, larynx, and conjunctiva. Finally, these patients can exhibit Marfanoid body habitus = long/lanky.

MEN2B is definitely make me think of Murasakibara. He’s huge, tall/lanky so he’s pretty much got that Marfanoid body. He eats so much junk food that he has to develop some tongue/mucosal tumors. Think of him eating the special yellow P instead of his Pringles. He also loves the pheochromocytoma because Himuro like it. He also shares the possibility of getting that medullary thyroid cancer because he’s very yaoi with Himuro. Again, he also always sticks with Himuro so they are 2 men = MEN2.

In summary:

MEN2B

Pheochromocytoma

Medullary thyroid cancer

Marfanoid body habitus

Mucosal neuromas

[weoanimemed]

Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia

MEN 1 = Wermer’s Syn

Pituitary

Parathyroid

Pancreas (gastrinomas, peptic ulcers)

Make sure to check serum Ca++ esp if kidney stones/peptic ulcers

So for MEN1 I’m gonna relate it to Kuroko no Basket’s Akashi. He is has the Emperor’s Eye which means he is the EMPEROR and they have all the things - thus Akashi has all 3 P’s - Pituitary, Parathyroid, and PANCREAS THE FORBIDDEN ONE. 

MEN2A = Sipple’s Syn

Parathyroids

Pheochromocytoma

Medullary thyroid cancer

Inc amyloid and inc calcitonin

MEN2A = Himuro because 2B is the freaking giant Murasakibara. He loves the pheochromocytoma with all the catecholamines, metanephrines, palpitations, and sweating. It’s almost like he has a thyroid problem. He also gets PARAnoid (parathyroid), kidney stones and increased amyloid when he’s away from his boo Murasakibara. 

MEN2B

Pheochromocytoma

Medullary thyroid cancer

Marfanoid body habitus

Mucosal neuromas - tongue tumors

MEN2B is definitely Murasakibara. He’s got the huge Marfanoid like body. He’s got the tongue tumors what with all the junk food he eats. He also loves the pheochromocytoma because Himuro like it. He also shares the possibility of getting that medullary thyroid cancer because he’s xoxoxo with Himuro.

MEN Syndromes are all Autosomal Dominant - thus all the dominant BB players that and they’re all MEN

MEN1: 3P’s = All the P’s = Emperor takes all

MEN2A: 2P’s = gets some parathyroid stuff and shares pheo and thyroid with 2B

MEN2B: 1P, Giant with an oral fixations but shares medullary thyroid cancer & pheo with 2A
