ABSTRACT
Patients with acromegaly have high incidence of benign or malignant neoplasia than general population and many investigators suggest the stimulatory effect of GH and IGF-1 on mesenchymal cells. Both normal thyroid tissue and thyroid cancer cells express IGF-1 receptor and thyroid cancer cells have more than 3 times. We present a case of acromegaly in patient with mixed papillary-follicular thyroid carcinoma, suggesting the possible carcinogenic role of GH and IGF-1.
