N2 - The occurrence of multiple mucosal neuromas, medullary thyroid carcinoma, and pheochromocytoma in five members of one family is described.

Their presence in addition to other facial anomalies associated with the syndrome should alert the clinician to the possibility of grave endocrinopathies.
