| Abstract | Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN2A) may be rarely associated with cutaneous lichen amyloidosis (CLA), a skin lesion located in the interescapular region. Here, we describe 3 MEN2A-related CLA kindred and perform a systematic review (SR) of the literature on clinical, biochemical and molecular characteristics of MEN2A-related CLA patients. Thirty-eight patients with MEN2A-related CLA followed at our institution were evaluated. The median age at MEN2A diagnosis in our cohort was 25 (13–41) years, 68 % were women and all harbored codon 634 RET mutations. The literature search resulted in 20 publications that contributed with 25 MEN2A families and 214 individuals. The mean age of MEN2A diagnosis was 31 ± 17 years, with 77 % women. The mean age reported by patients to initial skin lesion suggestive to CLA was 20 ± 13 years. All but two kindred harbored mutations at codon 634: C634R 7 kindred (35 %), C634Y 5 kindred (25 %), C634W 3 kindred (15 %), C634G 1 kindred (5 %), V804M 1 kindred (5 %) and S891A 1 kindred (5 %). Most interesting, the standardized CLA prevalence was higher in women (2.3/1.0, P < 0.005). The overall reported prevalence of medullary thyroid carcinoma, CLA, pheochromocytoma and hyperparathyroidism was 94, 51, 30 and 16 %, respectively. SR of literature indicates that MEN2A-related CLA is more frequent in women and presents a high penetrance, being the second most frequent manifestation of the syndrome, preceded only by MTC. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
