ABSTRACT
This paper presents a case of the very rare multiple endocrine neoplasia Type 2B syndrome. It highlights that because of the presence of superficial neuromas in this condition, there is the possibility for early diagnosis. Recent knowledge of the molecular genetics of this syndrome and the ability to screen family members is also stressed since early thyroidectomy is now recommended to prevent the development of thyroid carcinoma which is the main determinant of prognosis
