introduction: medullary thyroid carcinoma (mtc) is a rare thyroid cancer secreting calcitonin (ct) which is the most sensitive and specific tumor marker for mtc. this type of thyroid cancer is able to metastasize to different body areas including regional lymph nodes, lungs, liver and bone. the aim of this study was to assess the sensitivity and specificity of [99mtc-dmsa (v)] whole body scan (...

the coexistence of medullary thyroid carcinoma (mtc), papillary thyroid carcinoma (ptc) and parathyroid adenoma is an uncommon clinical entity. here, we report a case of mtc, ptc, and parathyroid adenoma diagnosed incidentally on a routine physical examination of the neck for the work-up of diabetes. the patient had neither symptoms of hypercalcemia nor those related to mtc and ptc.

abstract renal medullary carcinoma (rmc) is an uncommon aggressive neoplasm of the kidney. rmc is biologically aggressive with a very poor prognosis, and metastasis is seen in up to 95% of the patients at diagnosis or shortly thereafter. the common sites of metastasis are respectively lymph nodes, lungs, livers, and adrenal glands in order of frequency. the presence of poorly differentiated eos...

Abstract Background Breast carcinoma is uncommon in women under 25 and very rare in less than 20 years old. Only few cases of infiltrating breast carcinoma have been reported and among them there was no report of medullary subtype. The purpose of this report is to determine clinical, histopathological and sonographic findings of large mass in breast of young female patient that diagnosed as ...

we report an unusual case of a young male with cerebellar hemangioblastoma treated previously for medullary carcinoma of thyroid, whose pet/ct scans revealed a constellation of findings that suggested the rare von hippel lindau syndrome. the diagnosis was clinched by confirming the findings on whole body contrast enhanced computed tomography (cect) and contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imagi...

Background: Medullary breast carcinoma (MBC) is a unique histological subtype of breast cancer. The present study aimed to evaluate the classic and non-classic characteristics of MBC and its differences with IDC. The present review study incorporates 22 years of practical experience from a breast disease research center-based series of cases.Methods: Retrospectively, the medical records of 3,24...

Parathyroid carcinoma is the rarest endocrine cancer with aggressive behaviour. It may be presented as a feature of severe hypercalcemia, musculoskeletal involvement and neck mass. There should high clinical suspicion if there marked very parathyroid hormone levels, palpable mass, recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy due to invasion bone renal symptoms. Thyroid pathology has been seen in 15-70% pati...
