Wermer syndrome (MEN - 1) is associated with tumors of the parathyroid (causing hypercalcemia), pancreatic islets (can cause hypoglycemia), and pituitary (can cause galactorrhea). Sipple syndrome (MEN - 2A) is mainly characterized by medullary thyroid cancer, pheochromocytoma, and primary hyperparathyroidism. Nelson syndrome occurs after bilateral adrenalectomy for Cushing disease and is related to pituitary adenoma growth. William syndrome is a genetic disorder with cardiovascular, cognitive - behavioral, and connective tissue features, not related to these endocrine manifestations.
