Abstract
Concurrent endocrine neoplasia (CEN) refers to the simultaneous occurrence of two or more endocrine tumours in animals. The various types of multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) in humans are explained, together with the prevalence and genetic mutations associated with MEN syndromes in humans. In dogs, concurrent adrenomedullary, adrenocortical and/or pituitary gland pathology is the most commonly described CEN; in cats, the thyroid gland is the most frequently affected endocrine organ in CEN. The chapter describes the histopathology and clinical presentation of various endocrine tumours. Thorough clinical assessment and screening for CEN are required in order to develop effective treatment plans and improve the quality of life for affected animals.
