MEN1 Syndrome and Hibernoma: An Uncommonly Recognised Association?
MEN1 syndrome is known to classically result in parathyroid, pituitary, and pancreatic islet cell tumours. However, the potential association of MEN1 syndrome with hibernoma, a benign tumour with differentiation towards brown fat, is far less well known, despite their genetic profile both being link...

| description | MEN1 syndrome is known to classically result in parathyroid, pituitary, and pancreatic islet cell tumours.

Herein, we describe a case with its key radiological and pathological findings. |
