MEDULLARY CARCINOMA OF THYROID WITH HASHIMOTOS THYROIDITIS - A RARE CASEREPORT

TAMILSELVI V VEERAMANI

Abstract


Abstract :
Medullary carcinoma of thyroid in association
with Hashimotos thyroiditis is a very
rare entity. It is reported with an increased
predilection for women in their fifth decades.
These tumors have an intermediate
prognosis. Hereby, we report a case of
medullary thyroid carcinoma with Hashimotos
thyroiditis in a 50 year old woman
who presented with neck swelling of four
months duration. Fine needle aspiration
cytology suggested the possibility of medullary
carcinoma of thyroid. Serum calcitonin
levels were markedly elevated. Total
thyroidectomy was done. Histopathological
examination and immunohistochemistry
confirmed the diagnosis.
