Abstract

18 years old girl presented with right dominant lobe thyroid gland in euthyyroid state. Radioisotope scanning revealed cold nodule and fineneedle aspiration cytology reported follicular neoplasm. Subsequent histopathological examination revealed medullary carcinoma withtuberculosis. The medical literature abounds with evident association between chronic inflammatory process and neoplasia, considering chronicinflammation as risk factor for later. We searched the local and international medical literature in English language to find any associationbetween neuro endocrine tumors and granulomatous inflammation. However to our knowledge no such association has so far been described,even in the form of clinical case report in any core medical journal.
