ObjectiveWe report a case of acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV2) pneumonia in which persistently high procalcitonin (PCT) allowed the diagnosis of sporadic medullary thyroid cancer (MTC).MethodsWe describe the history of 43-year-old male with bilateral Sars-Cov-2 pneumoniae, in whom persistent increased PCT despite reduction of C reactive protein lead to investigate other causes of high PCT.

Background: No direct prospective studies comparing laser ablation (LA) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for debulking benign non-functioning thyroid nodules (BNTNs) exist. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of both techniques in patients with solid or predominantly solid BNTN.Methods: This six-month, single-use, randomized open label parallel trial compared the following primary endpoints between the RFA and LA groups six months after treatmen...
