ABSTRACT: Recently, the incidence of papillary thyroid cancer increases rapidly than any other type of cancer worldwide, without the age and gender discrimination. Environmental or therapeutic exposure of radiation is main culprit of papillary thyroid cancer, but there is limited research available to support that to the usage of infertility drug associated with papillary thyroid cancer. We presented the rare and interesting case of papillary thyroid cancer while patient was on clomiphene citrate for the management of infertility. We found few studies which showed pathophysiology connection between in CC and papillary cell carcinoma.
