Calcitonin negative Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma: a challenging diagnosis or a medical dilemma?

Abstract Background Medullary thyroid carcinoma is a neuroendocrine tumor belonging form a malignant growth of the thyroid parafollicular C-cells, representing from 1 to 10% of all thyroid cancer. The biochemical activity of medullary thyroid carcinoma includes the production of calcitonin and carci...
