Leukocytosis can be present at any time during various malignancies. A 42-year-old male was admitted to our department for surgical management of his metastatic papillary thyroid cancer. Persistent white blood cell (WBC) elevation with left shift led to a thorough investigation. Having excluded other causes, leukocytosis was attributed to thyroid cancer itself. Positive immunostaining for IL-6 and CEA, as well as elevated serum levels, established this connection.
在各种恶性肿瘤的任何阶段都可能出现白细胞增多。一名42岁男性因转移性乳头状甲状腺癌入我院接受手术治疗。持续性白细胞(WBC)升高伴核左移促使我们进行了全面检查。排除其他原因后,白细胞增多归因于甲状腺癌本身。IL-6和CEA免疫染色阳性以及血清水平升高证实了这种关联。
