Dear William W. White,
Unfortunately I was unable to find information on term " PAN GLANDULAR SYNDROME" or "PAN GLANDULAR FAILURE".
An illness which may be similar is a pituitary gland dysfunction.
The pituitary gland also known as the master gland. It supplies stimulating hormones to many gands, such as the thyroid, adrenal, testicles and ovaries.
A dysfunction in this gland depending on the location and cause may present with different signs and symptoms.
The clinical manifestations depend on the hormones involved.
Your question may be better answered by an endocrinologist.
Sorry, I could not be of more assistance.
Respectfully,
HFHS M.D.-SW
