    Abstract:
    Since the Chernobyl accident in April 1986, a dramatic increase in the incidence of thyroid carcinoma has been described, especially in children. A case of sarcoma of the thyroid in a man exposed to the Chernobyl fallout is presented. Sarcoma of the thyroid is a rare finding. The present patient lived in a region that is known to be one of the most exposed to Chernobyl fallout. The case suggests a high probability of a relationship between the sarcoma of the thyroid and the exposure to radiation.
