CT demonstration of calcified liver metastases in medullary thyroid carcinoma.
The presence of calcification can be found in greater than 50% of thyroid cancers. With medullary thyroid carcinoma, calcifications may be found in the primary lesion as well as in metastatic lymph nodes and in the liver. We report two cases of medullary thyroid carcinoma with associated calcified liver metastases.
