Family history of multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome

This diagnosis code indicates a patient has a documented family history of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia (MEN) syndrome, a group of inherited disorders that cause tumors in endocrine glands. This familial predisposition significantly increases the patient's risk of developing similar endocrine tumors.

Use this code when a patient's medical record explicitly states a family member (e.g., parent, sibling, child) has been diagnosed with any type of MEN syndrome (e.g., MEN1, MEN2A, MEN2B). This is particularly relevant for patients undergoing screening, genetic counseling, or surveillance due to this inherited risk.

• This code is for a family history of MEN, not a personal history or current diagnosis of MEN in the patient.
• Always review the medical record for specific documentation of the family member's MEN diagnosis.
• Do not use this code if the family history is vague or unconfirmed.
