Mixed medullary-follicular and medullary-papillary carcinoma of the thyroid: one or two entities?
Among 36 cases of medullary carcinoma of the thyroid we found two cases of mixed medullary-follicular carcinoma which in addition to the typical morphology contained foci of clear cells with cytological features of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid. The authors compare the two cases with the recently described entity called medullary-papillary carcinoma of thyroid.
