Overview

Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma

  • Both primary and metastatic lesions usually have irregular dense calcific foci within.[1]
  • In the chest, bullae formation and pulmonary fibrosis might happen as a result of a desmoplastic reaction.

Parathyroid Carcinoma

  • Three-dimensional single-photon emission CT (SPECT) is used for preoperative preadenoma localization.
