Abstract
The thyroid is the location of neuroendocrine C cells that produce calcitonin. The most common thyroid neuroendocrine neoplasm is medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) that is composed of C cells. Rare other thyroid neuroendocrine neoplasms include mixed neuroendocrine and non-neuroendocrine neoplasms (MiNENs) that represent a composite MTC and thyroid follicular neoplasm, usually papillary thyroid carcinoma, as well as occasional paragangliomas, intrathyroidal parathyroid tumors, NENs originating from intrathyroidal thymic remnants and metastatic neuroendocrine neoplasms.
