Mucosal neuromas and prominent corneal nerves without MEN IIB.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type II B or the mucosal neuroma syndrome is an autosomal dominant hamartoneoplastic syndrome. This is a report of a 17 year old female who presented with mucosal neuromas at age 7 years and had surgical excision of the lesion. Ten years later (at age 17 years) she had further recurrence of mucosal neuromas which were again surgically excised. She has been thoroughly investigated & followed, however to date she has no evidence of thyroid carcinoma which is a major complication of this syndrome.
