[The C-cell-tumours of the thyroid gland in childhood (author's transl)].
C-cell tumours are rare in children. They must be classified as hereditary types of the C-cell carcinomas. C-cell hyperplasias are considered as obligatory precanceroses of this malignoma. The article reports on two cases of C-cell hyperplasia discovered within the framework of a family screening study. Attention is drawn to the importance of screening for diagnosis of early tumour stages resulting in improved prognosis.
