Core Tip Procalcitonin (Pct) is a biomarker used very commonly for infections in our clinical practice. It is routinely used in coronavirus disease 2019-infected patients. In this setting, persistent Pct elevation despite normalization of other inflammatory markers may present a diagnostic dilemma. This case highlights the importance of identifying occult medullary thyroid carcinoma in such situations, which would otherwise have been missed and left untreated. In our patient, this led to proper treatment and a successful outcome.
