The patient gradually underwent surgeries after compensation of general condition: bilateral parathyroidectomy, in 4 months — removal of carcinoid tumor of the lung. In case of Cushing syndrome or PHPT, the authors recommended to carry out careful examination of patients to exclude MEN-1 and MEN-2 syndromes. In addition, it is necessary to exclude the presence of familial forms of the disease, i.e., it is necessary to carry out a survey of first-degree relatives.
