Abstract

A 40-year-old woman with Graves' disease underwent a technetium-99m pertechnetate thyroid scan showing two distinct foci of increased uptake, one just inferior to the right thyroid lobe and another further down in the right supraclavicular region. The foci were subsequently identified by contrast-enhanced computed tomography and interpreted as grade 4 thyrothymic remnants, both separate from the genuine thyroid. Detection of such variants by thyroid scintigraphy and anatomic imaging in such patients is important to minimize the risk of persistent/recurrent hyperthyroidism after surgery.

格雷夫斯病患者的两种明显的亢进甲状腺残余

一位患有Graves病的40岁女性接受了99m高锝甲状腺扫描，显示两个明显的摄取增加病灶，一个位于右侧甲状腺叶下方，另一个位于右侧锁骨上区域下方。病灶随后通过对比增强计算机断层扫描识别，并被解释为4级甲状腺残余，两者与真正的甲状腺分离。在这些患者中，通过甲状腺显像和解剖成像检测这些变异对于降低术后持续/复发性甲状腺功能亢进的风险非常重要。
