Sipple Syndrome
Sipple syndrome is an inherited condition in which several hormone-producing glands tend to develop tumors or excessive growth, mainly in the thyroid and the adrenal glands.
What distinguishes it: It combines abnormalities in different glands at the same time, so its study considers the whole hormonal system and the family history.
Possible manifestations: Signs related to the thyroid, episodes of high blood pressure or changes in calcium levels may arise, depending on the glands involved.
Who treats it? The endocrinologist is central to its assessment, since they coordinate the study of the different glands. When there is a family history of hormonal tumors, talking with this specialist is key to an orderly follow-up.
