If you have a condition called men2a and have had a phaechromocytoma does it make you more predisposed to developing another phaechromocytoma?

MEN2: Yes, if the patient still have residual tissue there (such as unilateral adrenalectomy), and especially the patient is positive for RET gene mutation. Even without specific mutation, the patient with MEN2A is naturally prone to develop pheochromocytoma.
