Day 3 - Healthy Anime
Continuing with MEN Syndromes, we will cover MEN2B.
MEN2B does not have any other special names. Patients with MEN2B have just 1 P: Pheochromocytoma. However, they also tend to have medullary thyroid carcinoma which secrete calcitonin, and some oral/intestinal ganglioneuromatosis ie mucosal neuromas in the nasopharynx, oropharynx, larynx, and conjunctiva. Finally, these patients can exhibit Marfanoid body habitus = long/lanky.
MEN2B is definitely make me think of Murasakibara. He’s huge, tall/lanky so he’s pretty much got that Marfanoid body. He eats so much junk food that he has to develop some tongue/mucosal tumors. Think of him eating the special yellow P instead of his Pringles. He also loves the pheochromocytoma because Himuro like it. He also shares the possibility of getting that medullary thyroid cancer because he’s very yaoi with Himuro. Again, he also always sticks with Himuro so they are 2 men = MEN2.
In summary:
MEN2B
Pheochromocytoma
Medullary thyroid cancer
Marfanoid body habitus
Mucosal neuromas
