Multiple endocrine adenomatosis - (pronounced) (MUL-tih-pul EN-doh-krin A-deh-NOH-muh-TOH-sis) rare, inherited disorder that affects the endocrine glands and can cause tumors in the parathyroid, pituitary and pancreas glands. These tumors are usually benign (not cancer). They cause the glands to secrete large amounts of hormones, which can lead to other medical problems like kidney stones, fertility problems, and serious ulcers. In some cases, tumors in the pancreas can become malignant (cancer). Also called MEN1 syndrome, multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 syndrome and Wermer syndrome
