Sipple syndrome

Sipple syndrome, also known as Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2), is a genetic condition that causes tumors to develop in the thyroid gland and adrenal glands. These tumors can produce excess hormones, leading to symptoms like high blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, and potentially to advanced thyroid cancer. It is inherited, meaning it runs in families, and early detection allows for careful monitoring and preventive measures such as surgery to remove at-risk tumors, helping to improve outcomes and manage the condition effectively.
