PIP: The authors describe histologically confirmed medullary carcinoma of the thyroid gland in a living patient. The tumor produces excessive amounts of calcitonin and releases it into the blood stream. In healthy subjects, the plasma concentration of calcitonin is 0.2-1.0 mU MRC/ml plasma; in medullary carcinoma it is 5.66 mU/ml. The tumor responds to artificially induced hypercalcemia by a further increase of plasma calcitonin. 60-120 minutes after a hypercalcemic stimulus, the calcitonin level declines well below the initial value but remains elevated. The patient has a permanently normal blood calcium level. This is probably due to secondary hyperparathyroidism, a compensatory phenomenon. (Author's modified)
