I have/ had pituitary adenoma. in boston i got it checked, it was first 3 mm and then 5 mm. i got a scan done in south carolina which came clear. the endocrinologist says that it can't be gone. is it possible that i might have men?

Low risk MEN: Almost all patients with men have hyperparathyroidism. If you don't have that and there's no family history of anyone with the characteristic conditions associated with men, then it's highly likely you do not have men. Without treatment it's unlikely for a pituitary tumor to disappear unless it was incorrectly interpreted by the previous radiologists/physicians. Make sure you have a yearly MRI at.

Have images compared: It sounds like you need to have your records sent to your latest provider so that the radiologist can compare the actual images, this might help clear up the confusion.

Second opinion: Is a good idea. An MRI can be submitted to http://conciergeradiologist.Com in the next few weeks for reevaluation. One picture is not enough - the whole study will need to be sent, but fortunately that's not hard. Having an expert radiologist review all of your imaging and pointing out results to you clearly can go a long way to resolving these all-too-common types of issues in medicine.
