title: [Hormone-producing thyroid carcinoma with hyperthyroidism. Analysis of 6 cases and review of the literature].
abstract: Report on 6 female patients with follicular thyroid carcinoma producing hyperthyroidism. Two of them had large metastases with hormone production, while 4 mimicked an autonomously functioning thyroid adenoma. Hormone synthesis was investigated in the tumor tissue of one patient and was found to be similar to that of normal thyroid tissue.
