| Popis: | Hashimoto’s thyroiditis has been found to be associated with lymphoma, papillary carcinoma and Hürthle cell neoplasms of thyroid. In contrast, there are only a few reports of co-existence of HT with medullary carcinoma of thyroid. An overall prevalence of medullary carcinoma of only 0.35% has been reported in HT patients. Such a rare combination is being presented here. A 33 year old female presented with history of goiter for one year. Fine needle aspiration cytology of the swelling revealed cytological features suggestive of medullary carcinoma of thyroid. Histopathological examination of total thyroidectomy specimen revealed Hashimoto’s thyroiditis along with medullary carcinoma of thyroid. Although Hashimoto’s thyroiditis can uncommonly coexist with thyroid neoplasm, its association with medullary carcinoma is extremely rare and hence being presented. Keywords: association, hashimoto’s thyroiditis, histopathology, medullary carcinoma of thyroid. |
