[Thyroid cancer and chronic granulocytic leukemia in the same patient: Cernobyl or coincidence?]

We present a case of thyroidian cancer and chronic granulocytic leukemia simultaneously found in a 28 years old patient. Initial surgical management consisted in total thyroidectomy and removal of the lymph nodes; local recurrence after 6 months required excision of the tumoral block by radical neck dissection. Hematological disease was controlled with Hydroxiureea, associated, when needed, with Busulphan and Cytosar. The patient is in acceptable general condition and free of any local recurrence or apparent metastases 2.5 years after the diagnosis.
