Secondary hyperparathyroidism and thyroid cancer. 1985

D A Linos, and P N Ziroyannis

To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of two cases with concomitant secondary hyperparathyroidism and thyroid cancer. Despite previously published reports of a possible association between primary hyperparathyroidism and non-medullary thyroid cancer, we believe that such an association is coincidental. Nevertheless, increased awareness of the possibility of encountering and treating both diseases at the same time is advisable.
