Medullary carcinoma of the thyroid is a rare form of all thyroid malignancies, thereby limiting the clinical nature and the ability to optimize diagnostic tools. We present two cases of a micronodular radiographic pulmonary pattern in metastatic medullary thyroid cancer to enhance awareness of the disease process. We reviewed the literature to examine the ideal methods to establish a diagnosis.
甲状腺髓样癌是所有甲状腺恶性肿瘤中一种罕见的类型,因此限制了其临床特征以及优化诊断工具的能力。我们报告两例转移性甲状腺髓样癌出现肺部微结节影像学表现的病例,以提高对该疾病进程的认识。我们查阅文献以研究建立诊断的理想方法。
