Abstract: Approximately, one third of patients with gastrinoma have multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1). But bronchial\ncarcinoid tumors occur infrequently and the natural courses of them remain unclear. Recently the somatostatin receptor\nscintigraphy was reported to be more sensitive than any other tumor-localization methods. A 62 years old woman had\nmultiple ulcers in duodenum. Her gastin level was markedly elevated. She not only was confirmed to have islet cell tumor\nin pancreatic head portion with involvement of intra-abdominal lymph node but also was confirmed to have endocrine\ntumor in the right lower lung through computed tomography and somatostatin receptor scintigraphy. Then, we found that\nshe had parathyroid adenoma and pituitary prolactinoma. Genetic analysis of DNA revealed a nonsense mutation in the\nMEN 1 gene. We reported this case with a review of the literature because this is the first report of bronchial carcinoid\nwith MEN 1 in Korea.(Korean J Med 72:S244-S249, 2007)\nKey Words : Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1, Carcinoid tumor
