The problem of multiple endocrine neoplasia is still under study and practitioners know little about it. In the described case the unclassical manifestation of the syndrome MEN-I during 10 years manifested by a combination of nodular hyperplasia of the parathyroid glands, functionally active benign pancreatic tumor and bilateral adrenal hyperplasia. Due to distal pancreatectomy concerning insulinoma the patient had a developed pancreatogenic diabetes with relative insulin deficiency.
Key words: Wermer’s syndrome, MEN-I, hyperparathyroid disorder, insulinoma, hyperinsulinism.
