Abstract

Differentiated thyroid cancer is a disease having a very good prognosis when treated adequately. Ablation treatment with ¹³¹I is frequently adjunct to surgery in these patients since it improves survival. Radioiodine whole-body scan is one of the imaging modality of choice in the follow-up of patients with this kind of pathology. After ablation treatment of the thyroid gland, any radioiodine accumulation in a non-physiological location usually means the presence of functioning metastasis. Recognition of potential false-positives is essential to avoid unnecessary exposure to further radiation from repeated therapeutic doses of radioactive iodine. We report a case of uptake in the chest due to bronchiectasis, potentially masquerading as pulmonary metastasis.

高分化甲状腺癌随访中胸部碘摄取的变化

分化型甲状腺癌是一种治疗得当，预后良好的疾病。在这些患者中，131I消融治疗通常是手术的辅助治疗，因为它可以提高生存率。放射性碘全身扫描是这类病理患者随访的首选成像方式之一。甲状腺消融治疗后，任何放射性碘在非生理部位的积累通常意味着存在功能性转移。识别潜在的假阳性对于避免因重复治疗剂量的放射性碘而遭受不必要的进一步辐射至关重要。我们报告一个病例摄取在胸部由于支气管扩张，潜在的伪装为肺转移。
