| Abstract |
|
It is believed that Graves’ disease is associated with an increased prevalence of thyroid carcinoma, but the reported incidence is variable, ranging between 0% and 9.8% generally of differentiated thyroid carcinoma type. The majority of thyroid carcinomas in patients with Graves’ disease are papillary, followed in frequency by follicular carcinoma. Medullary thyroid carcinoma in combination with Graves’ disease appears to be very rare. To our knowledge, only 11 cases have been described in which medullary thyroid carcinoma associated Graves’ disease and all of them, at foreign countries. So we experienced medullary thyroid carcinoma associated Graves’ disease, we report this case with review of literature.(Korean J Med 69:S851-S855, 2005) |
