NEW YORK -- Yahoo's Scott Thompson, who was pressured to give up his CEO post because his official biography included a college degree he never received, reportedly has thyroid cancer.

The Wall Street Journal, citing people it did not identify, says that Thompson told Yahoo's board and several colleagues of his condition before resigning from his role with the company.
