Co-existence of thyrotropin/growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma with differentiated thyroid carcinoma is exceedingly rare, with less than 15 cases having been reported. Its clinical presentation and treatment strategy are challenging. We report a case of pituitary macroadenoma, with clinical syndromes of acromegaly and hyperthyroidism, and a thyroid nodule, with cytologically confirmed to be a papillary thyroid carcinoma. Clinical implications, focusing on the strategy for proper management, and possible pathogenesis were discussed.
促甲状腺激素/生长激素分泌型垂体腺瘤与分化型甲状腺癌并存极为罕见，报告的病例不足15例。其临床表现和治疗策略具有挑战性。我们报告一例垂体大腺瘤，伴有肢端肥大症和甲状腺功能亢进的临床综合征，以及一个甲状腺结节，经细胞学检查确诊为乳头状甲状腺癌。本文讨论了其临床意义，重点是合理管理策略以及可能的发病机制。
