title: Diarrhea associated with metastasis from medullary carcinoma of thyroid.
abstract: Watery diarrhea is a prominent symptom in medullary carcinoma of the thyroid (MCT) and may occur as the initial symptom and/or during the course of metastatic malignant disease. Death is generally the result of widespread dissemination of the tumour. We report a case with MCT and metastatic disease manifesting with diarrhea and dying due to widespread metastatic disease.
