  • Title: Papillary carcinoma of the thyroid developed in congenital dyshormonogenetic hypothyroidism without goiter: Diagnosis by FNAB.
    Author: Drut R, Moreno A.
    Journal: Diagn Cytopathol; 2009 Oct; 37(10):707-9. PubMed ID: 19670221.
    Abstract:
    A 5-year-old girl known to have congenital dyshormonogenetic hypothyroidism since birth and under appropriate treatment (without goiter) developed a thyroid nodule which was found in the clinical follow-up. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the nodule allowed to diagnose a papillary thyroid carcinoma, a diagnosis which was certified by the surgical specimen exam. Dyshormonogenetic goiter may rarely associate with thyroid carcinoma. The present case appears unique since goiter was not present.
