This chapter discusses the characteristic features, epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, complications, and management of endocrine-related genetic disorders and diseases such as McCune–Albright syndrome, endocrine tumours in neurofibromatosis type 1, Von Hippel–Lindau disease (VHL), Carney complex, Cowden syndrome, and multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 and type 2 (MEN1 and MEN2, respectively). It also provides some remarks on multiple endocrine neoplasia type 4 (MEN4). Given the genetic basis of disorder manifestation, the chapter discusses the relation of disease severity to the genome and genetic variations of the causes for endocrine system disorders.

Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma are rare in the pediatric population occurring in approximately 1 in 50,000 children. While some cases are sporadic, they have commonly been associated with syndromes such as von Hippel-Lindau, multiple endocrine neoplasia types IIa and IIb, neurofibromatosis type 1, and hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma syndromes. In children less than 18 years of age approximately 60% of pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are associated with a germline mutation. We present an 11-year-old child with an abdominal paraganglioma related to a succinate dehydrogenase subunit B gene mutation whose father had a previously resected abdominal paraganglioma and was found to carry the same mutation. In addition, we review the etiology, genetics, diagnostic approach, and challenges of preoperative management of secretory pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas in children.

Glomus tumours are uncommon lesions of the digit. They tend to be solitary. Only a small number of multifocal cases have been published, most of which are linked to an underlying genetic disorder. Here we report an unusual case of multifocal glomus tumours in the same hand in a patient suffering from neurofibromatosis type 1.
