    Notes: Summary We report on incidental findings during family screening of two kindreds with multiple endocrine neoplasia type IIa. Pheochromocytoma and medullary thyroid carcinoma of considerable size were detected. The results underline the importance of early diagnosis of the syndrome, since the afflicted may be almost or wholly asymptomatic. High resolution chromosome banding studies were carried out in both families, but no abnormality was found. Linkage analysis using DNA markers closely related to the chromosomal locus at chromosome 10 was carried out and was positive in two asymptomatic offspring of one family, whereas the markers were not informative in a second family. We recommend early linkage analysis for establishing the genetic status in offspring of multiple endocrine neoplasia type IIa families to identify for further screening those who are predicted to be gene carrier.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Von 1980–1985 wurden 1839 Patienten mit Schilddrüsenknoten untersucht. Sonographisch wiesen 98 % der Strumaknoten echoarme oder komplexe Strukturen auf. Bei 85 % war die Radionuklidspeicherung herabgesetzt, 10 % (n = 182) waren cytologisch positiv oder suspekt. Von diesen 182 Patienten wurden 60 operiert und 122 regelmäßig nachuntersucht. Bei 35 der 60 operierten Patienten konnte histologisch ein Schilddrüsencarcinom nachgewiesen werden. Die Kombination von echoarmer Raumforderung, szintigraphisch kaltem Knoten und cytologisch positivem oder auch nur suspektem Befund erfordert dringend die Operation.
    Notes: Summary From 1980 to 1985 1,839 patients with thyroid nodules were investigated. 98 % of them showed ultrasonic patterns of either echo-poor or complex structures, 85 of the nodules were scintigraphically cold, in 10% (n = 182) cytological findings were positive or at least suspect. Of these 182 patients 60 underwent operation, whereas 122 were followed up continuously. In 35 of 60 patients operated histological examination confirmed thyroid carcinomas. The combination of echo-poor, cold nodules and cytological positive or suspect findings urgently requires operation.
