Abstract
- Cystic lesions of the thyroid are common findings. Although many thyroid cysts are of benign, some cases of hemorrhagic degenerative changes occur in neoplastic nodules, mostly follicular neoplasms and papillary carcinomas. The occurrence of hemorrhagic changes in medullary carcinomas has never been documented with aspirative cytological and histological pictures to the best of our knowledge. A case of medullary thyroid carcinoma with a large central hemorrhagic cyst is described, and the literature regarding the pathogenesis of this regression and the occurrence of cystic neoplasms in the thyroid is reviewed.
