title: Thyroid carcinoma in Kenya.
abstract: 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.
