Abstract:
A focus of medullary thyroid cancer was found at frozen section analysis of tissue from a patient with Graves' disease undergoing thyroid lobectomy. An increased incidence of papillary-follicular thyroid cancer has been noted in Graves' disease. This report describes the unique association of medullary thyroid cancer and Graves' disease.
