Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 syndrome - (pronounced) (MUL-tih-pul EN-doh-krin NEE-oh-PLAY-zhuh . . . SIN-drome) 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).

In some cases, tumors in the pancreas can become malignant (cancer). Also called MEN1 syndrome, multiple endocrine adenomatosis and Wermer syndrome
