Notes:
Two cases of medullary microcarcinoma of the thyroid are reported. The tumours were identified incidentally in a 60- and a 66-year-old woman each with a thyroid adenoma. These tumours were 0.8 cm and 0.5 cm in size, respectively, and located in the central portion of the right lateral lobe. In neither patient was there a family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma. Although medullary microcarcinoma with associated C-cell hyperplasia in familial form has been reported, sporadic medullary microcarcinoma is rare.
