Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 is a hereditary condition linked to medullary thyroid cancer, phaeochromocytoma, and parathyroid tumours. An MRI may show changes in the thyroid and adrenal glands consistent with tumour development. Finding tumours associated with MEN2 early may allow for surgical treatment before they become advanced or cause hormonal crises. MRI is used for surveillance of MEN2-related tumours including phaeochromocytoma and parathyroid disease, complementing biochemical testing.
