Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma and DIPNECH: An Unexpected Association
#3074
Introduction: Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a neuroendocrine tumour of the C-cells of thyroid gland. Diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cells hyperplasia (DIPNECH) is a rare condition, thought to be primarily a neuroendocrine proliferative process which can develop into carcinoid tumours.
Aim(s): We report two cases of MTC (T2N0Mx) with no germline RET mutation.
