A novel mutation of the MEN1 gene in a patient with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 and recurrent fibromyxoid sarcoma - a case report.

Unlike some other syndromes where a genetic mutation can predict clinical course, there is no genotype-phenotype correlation in MEN1 syndrome. Therefore, these patients require lifelong and multidisciplinary surveillance, not only for typical endocrine and benign non-endocrine tumors but also for diverse and even more malignant forms. The atypical clinical presentation should pose suspicion about new gene mutation and serve as a warning in the further follow-up.
