Papillary thyroid cancer in two sisters

Case reports on two sisters with histologically confirmed papillary thyroid cancer are presented. Gastroenterological examinations were normal in both patients. Gardner's syndrome excluded. It was concluded that family history, clinical presentation free of underlying cancer syndrome, and histopathologic examination are not adequate for reliable differentiation between occasional and familial forms, unless genetic markers are available.
