| الوصف: | Background: Subjects with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) show an increased risk of endocrine tumors, especially pheochromocytoma, whereas thyroid C-cell hyperplasia (CCH) and medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) are very rare events described only in adult patients. Method. A case of CCH diagnosed in a 14-year-old girl affected with NF1 is reported. Calcitonin serum level after pentagastin was elevated (286 pg/ml). Genetic testing was performed in order to rule out mutations in the RET protooncogene. Result. No germline mutation previously reported in MEN2 was detected. Multifocal and bilateral CCH was demonstrated by immunohistochemistry. Conclusion: It is suggested that in such a genetic background of high risk for malignancy, CCH could be considered as an extremely rare condition likely preceding MTC. Copyright (C) 2002 S.
