the question hints at a possible parathyroid adenoma with her history of 2 episodes of renal calculi.

Yup, also as a tip for next time, if you see that a patient has some sort of pancreatic cell tumor, such as Zollinger in this case, look for other MEN 1 associated findings.

is it because she's showing no symptoms or something?

I'm not sure but I would assume you would want to first confirm that her symptoms are from a gastrinoma (pancreatic endocrine tumor) and a parathyroid adenoma to confirm MEN1 before you would go and then try to preventatively check for a pituitary tumor even without symptoms. So I would guess it is just about what takes priority, focus on the things with the symptoms to confirmt he diagnosis

MEN 1--> Pituitary tumors, pancreatic endocrine tumors (zollinger ellison or gastrinoma) and parathyroid adenomas.
