Medullary carcinoma of the thyroid with parathyroid adenoma and hypercalcaemia

RESUMO
A patient with hyperparathyroidism due to a parathyroid adenoma was found to have metastatic medullary carcinoma in lymph nodes close to the thyroid gland. The finding of normal calcitonin and parathormone concentrations after removal of the adenoma suggested that the parathyroid lesion was not the result of the hypocalcaemic action of calcitonin produced by the tumour in the thyroid.
