Thyroid carcinoma in Kenya.
Between 1964 and 1969 thyroid carcinoma was diagnosed in 63 Kenyans of African origin. The majority of tumours were differentiated in structure. Papillary carcinoma predominated in lowland tribal groups; follicular carcinoma in highland groups. A possible positive correlation between follicular carcinoma and endemic goitre is postulated.
