Abstract
A managed-care female common marmoset developed a rare C-cell carcinoma in the right thyroid lobe, characterized by capsular and intrathyroidal invasion. Neoplastic plasmacytoid cells arranged in sheets exhibited a morphological and immunophenotypic profile (calcitonin+, chromogranin A+, CK7+, INSM1+, TTF-1) that closely resembles human thyroid C-cell tumors.
