SUN-921 Indolent Presentation of Medullary Thyroid Cancer in a Patient with MEN Type 2B Due to a Germline RET M918T Mutationo

Background: MEN type 2B is rare and most commonly due to a germline methionine-to-threonine substitution at codon 918 (M918T) of the RET proto-oncogene. Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) occurs in 100% of the patients affected with the mutation. This mutation is considered the highest risk and is typically associated with aggressive disease and worse overall survival. We describe a case of a late diagnosis of MEN 2B in a patient and his son, both with a relatively indolent presentation of MTC. Clinical Case: A 39-year-old man presented to an outside institution with difficult to control hypertension, headaches and anxiety and was found to have bilateral pheochromocytomas (left, 5.8 x 5.5 x 3.8 cm and right, 9 x 5.2 x 7.3 cm). Upon presentation to our institution, he was noted to have classic phenotypic features of MEN 2B with a marfanoid habitus and multiple mucosal neuromas. Genetic testing confirmed RET M918T mutation. His family history was negative for similar features in his parents and siblings. However, one of his three children, age 12, had similar phenotypic features and was found to have the same mutation. The patient subsequently underwent a successful bilateral adrenalectomy and pathology confirmed pheochromocytomas. Thyroid ultrasound showed multiple nodules with calcifications but no lateral nodal metastases. Calcitonin and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels were elevated (170 pg/mL, normal ≤10, and 180.4 ug/L, normal
