Abstract
We describe the presenting symptoms and signs of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B in a cohort of children. Improved awareness of the early nonendocrine signs of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B could lead to earlier diagnosis before the development of medullary thyroid cancer and possibly its metastasis.
