Mucosubstances in medullary carcinoma of the thyroid
Histopathology, 1988We have studied mucosubstances in 12 cases of medullary carcinoma of the thyroid using histochemical techniques and a number of different lectins. Immunohistochemical staining for calcitonin and carcinoembryonic antigen was also performed. We have found that the presence of mucosubstances is a constant finding in medullary carcinomas; they were present

Management of medullary carcinoma of the thyroid
The American Journal of Surgery, 1982Total thyroidectomy is universally advised for the familial variety of MCT. Although total thyroidectomy is also recommended for sporadic cases, partial thyroidectomy may be adequate. Cervical and upper mediastinal nodes should be sampled for microscopic study, even when they are small and appear to be normal.

Medullary Carcinoma of the Thyroid Gland
World Journal of Surgery, 2000AbstractMedullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is an uncommon thyroid tumor that has attracted a great deal of interest because of its frequent presentation as a familial tumor and its primary involvement in the type II multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndromes MEN‐IIA and MEN‐IIB and familial medullary thyroid carcinoma (FMTC).

Hypouricemia and Medullary Carcinoma of the Thyroid
1984Hypouricemia could be the result of diminished uric acid production, excess urate excretion, or a combination of these mechanisms. Recently, hypouricemia has been noted in a few patients with neoplastic diseases, particularly Hodgkin’s disease and pulmonary tumors1.

Medullary carcinoma of the thyroid gland
The Laryngoscope, 1976AbstractEndocrine as well as oncologic attributes mark this rare tumor as unique. It is derived from “C cells” resembling the parafollicular cells of lower animals; these cells elaborate Calcitonin which acts as a sensitive signal of the presence of the tumor.

Epidemiology of Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma
1992Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) was first recognized as a distinct pathological entity by Hazard et al. (1959), who, out of 600 cases of thyroid cancer, identified 21 cases of this tumor from its histopathological appearance. MTC originates from the thyroid parafollicular C-cells first suggested by Williams (1967) and secretes large amounts of ...

[Medullary carcinoma of thyroid gland].
Chirurgia italiana, 1997The authors present the characteristic features of medullary carcinoma of thyroid (CMT) and underline the necessity to identify RET proto-oncogene that is the cause of hereditary transmission of CMT. Physiology of C cells and clinical syndromes are reported and the importance of a genetic screening in population at risk is emphasized; this test has ...

Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma: Imaging
Imaging plays an important role in the early detection and staging of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), as well as in follow-up to locate early recurrence. MTC is a rare, calcitonin-secreting thyroid malignancy that is often diagnosed by ultrasound and calcitonin screening as part of the routine evaluation of any thyroid nodule.
