Abstract

Thyroid cancer is one of the most common endocrine malignancies. It is known that thyroid cancer can develop during reproductive periods, possibly due to the effects of sex hormones and growth factors such human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG). Some data suggest that elevated HCG levels during pregnancy or gestational trophoblastic disease can stimulate thyroid cellular proliferation and promote cancer formation; however, a case of papillary thyroid cancer accompanied by a gestational trophoblastic tumor has not been reported. Here, we report the case of a 44-year-old woman with papillary thyroid cancer during treatment for a gestational trophoblastic tumor.

갑상선 암은 가장 흔한 내분비암 중 하나이다. 갑상선은 성호르몬과 ${\beta}-HCG$ 등의 영향을 받기 때문에 ${\beta}-HCG$가 증가되는 임신시나 융모 상피성 질환에서 갑상선 질환의 발생이 촉진 될 수 있다고 알려져 왔다. 하지만 융모 상피성 종양 환자에서 갑상선 암이 동반된 경우는 아직까지 국내에서 보고되지 않았다. 이에 저자는 융모 상피성 종양 환자에서 갑상선 유두암이 동반된 사례를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고한다.
