Abstract
Inherited endocrine tumors are neoplasms of endocrine cells, transmitted via autosomal dominant germinal mutations. They present in two different forms: non-syndromic (patient has a single affected endocrine organ during his/her lifetime) or syndromic forms (multiple tumors in endocrine and non-endocrine organs during his/her lifetime).In addition to their common tumoral manifestations, many of these diseases present clinical affection of bone tissues and/or mineral metabolism, both as secondary complications of primary tumors and as primary defects due to genetic mutation. To date, few studies have documented these bone complications, and there are no systematic reviews in this area.We present a revision of medical literature about skeletal and mineral metabolism affections in inherited endocrine tumor syndromes, and studies, in cells and animal models, investigating the direct role of some genes, whose mutations are responsible for the development of endocrine tumors, in the regulation of bone and mineral metabolism.

Abstract
During the last decades an increase in the incidence of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) was observed. Gastroenteropancreatic NETs represent the majority of NETs. Compared with their epithelial counterpart they usually have a more indolent behaviour and surgical resection improves survival. Tumor diameter is one of the main parameter in the decision making process for nonfunctioning forms. Generally, small lesions can be treated conservatively whereas larger tumors should be treated with standard surgical resection and lymphadenectomy. Functioning tumors should be resected regardless the dimension of the lesion. Locally advanced and metastatic disease should be also treated with extended resections, keeping in consideration the grading, size, Ki67, and presence of extra-abdominal disease. In the case of metastases the panel of operative treatment includes resection, ablation, up to liver transplantation.

Abstract
The incidence of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) has increased in the last decades. Surgical treatment encompasses a panel of approaches ranging from conservative procedures to extended surgical resection. Tumor size and localization usually represent the main drivers in the choice of the most appropriate surgical resection. In the presence of small (<2 cm) and asymptomatic nonfunctioning NETs, a conservative treatment is usually recommended. For localized NETs measuring above 2 cm, surgical resection represents the cornerstone in the management of these tumors. As they are relatively biologically indolent, an extended resection is often justified also in the presence of advanced NETs. Surgical options for NET liver metastases range from limited resection up to liver transplantation. Surgical choices for metastatic NETs need to consider the extent of disease, the grade of tumor, and the presence of extra-abdominal disease. Any surgical procedures should always be balanced with the benefit of survival or relieving symptoms and patients' comorbidities.

Abstract
Background Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is most commonly sporadic (sPHPT). However, sometimes PHPT develops as part of multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 1 or 2A. In all, parathyroidectomy is the only curative treatment. Nevertheless, there are important differences in clinical expression and treatment. Methods We analyzed a consecutive cohort of patients treated for sporadic, MEN1-related, and MEN2A-related PHPT and compared them regarding clinical and biochemical parameters, differences in preoperative workup, operative strategies, findings, and outcome. Results A total of 467 patients with sPHPT, 52 with MEN1- and 16 with MEN2A-related PHPT were analyzed. Patients with sPHPT were older, more often female and had higher preoperative calcium and parathyroid hormone levels, when compared with MEN1 and MEN2A patients. Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) was performed in 367 of 467 sPHPT patients (79%). One abnormal parathyroid was found in 426 patients (91%). Two or more in 35 patients (7%). In six patients (1%) no abnormal parathyroid gland was retrieved. Of 52 MEN1 patients, eight (15%) underwent a MIP and 44 patients (85%) underwent conventional neck exploration (CNE); with resection of fewer than 3½ enlarged glands in 21 patients (40%), subtotal parathyroidectomy (SPTX, 3-3½ glands) in seventeen (33%) and total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation (TPTX) in six (12%). Eleven patients (21%) had persistent disease, 29 (56%) recurrent PHPT and nine (17%) permanent hypoparathyroidism, mostly after TPTX. Of 16 MEN2A patients, six (38%) underwent MIP, four (25%) CNE and six (38%) selective resection of the enlarged gland(s) during total thyroidectomy. Three patients (19%) suffered from persistent PHPT and two (13%) developed recurrent disease. Conclusions Sporadic PHPT, MEN1- and MEN2A-related PHPT are three distinct entities as is reflected preoperatively by differences in gender, age at diagnosis and calcium and PTH levels. MEN2A patients are very similar to sPHPT with respect to operative approach and findings. MIP is the treatment of choice for both. MIP has low rates of persistent and recurrent PHPT and a low complication rate. The percentage of multiglandular disease and recurrences are significantly higher in MEN1 patients, demonstrating the need for a different approach. We advocate treating these patients with CNE and SPTX.

Abstract
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1) is an autosomal-dominant inherited tumor syndrome characterized by hyperplasia and/or tumors in the parathyroid glands, the pancreatic islets, the anterior pituitary and adrenal glands, as well as neuroendocrine tumors in the thymus, lungs and stomach, and tumors in nonendocrine tissues. In 1997, the responsible MEN1 gene was identified as a tumor-suppressor gene and its product was named menin. In this review, guidelines for early diagnosis, including MEN1 gene mutation analysis, and treatment, including periodic clinical monitoring, have been formulated, enabling improvement of life expectancy and quality of life. Identification of menin-interacting proteins has provided new insights into the function of menin, notably involving regulation of gene transcription related to proliferation and apoptosis, genome stability and DNA repair, and endocrine/metabolic homeostasis. In the near future, target-directed intervention may prevent or delay the onset of MEN 1-related tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES) is caused by parathyroid hyperplasia. Surgery for parathyroid hyperplasia is tricky and difficult. Long-term outcome in ZES/MEN1/HPT is not well known. METHODS Eighty-four consecutive patients (49 F/35 M) with ZES/MEN1/HPT underwent initial parathyroidectomy (PTX) and were followed at 1- to 3-year intervals. RESULTS Age at PTX was 36 +/- 2 years. Mean follow-up was 17 +/- 1 years. Before PTX, mean Ca = 2.8 mmol/L (normal level (nl <2.5), PTH i = 243 pg/mL (nl <65), and gastrin = 6950 pg/mL (nl < 100). Sixty-one percent had nephrolithiasis. Each patient had parathyroid hyperplasia. Fifty-eight percent of patients had 4 parathyroid glands identified. Nine of 84 (11%) had 4 glands removed with immediate autograft, 40/84 (47%) 3 to 3.5 glands, whereas 35/84 (42%) <3 glands removed. Persistent/recurrent HPT occurred in 42%/48% of patients with <3 glands, 12%/44% with 3 to 3.5 glands, and 0%/55% with 4 glands removed. Hypoparathyroidism occurred in 3%, 10%, and 22%, respectively. The disease-free interval after surgery was significantly longer if >3 glands were removed. After surgery to correct the HPT, each biochemical parameter of ZES was improved and 20% of patients no longer had laboratory evidence of ZES. CONCLUSIONS HPT/MEN1/ZES is a severe form of parathyroid hyperplasia with a high rate of nephrolithiasis, persistent and recurrent HPT. Surgery to correct the hypercalcemia significantly ameliorates the ZES. Removal of less than 3.5 glands has an unacceptably high incidence of persistent HPT (42%), whereas 4-gland resection and transplant has a high rate of permanent hypoparathyroidism (22%). More than 3-gland resection has a longer disease-free interval. The surgical procedure of choice for patients with HPT/MEN1/ZES is 3.5-gland parathyroidectomy. Careful long-term follow-up is necessary as a significant proportion will develop recurrent HPT.
