Thyroglobulin Gene Mutation with Cold Nodule on Thyroid Scintigraphy
Thyroglobulin gene mutation is a rare cause of congenital hypothyroidism, but thyroglobulin gene mutations are thought to be associated with thyroid cancer development. A 21-year-old Japanese man treated with levothyroxine for congenital hypothyroidism had an enlarged thyroid gland with undetectable serum thyroglobulin despite elevated serum TSH level. The patient was diagnosed with thyroglobul...
متن کاملEvaluation of single cold thyroid nodule with 99mTc-Sestamibi [Persian]
In 30 patient with single cold thyroid nodule and normal thyroid function tests, 99mTc-MIBI scan is performed. The nodules are divided to hot (10), Warm (12) and cold (8). FNA reported papillary Ca in 4, suspicious follicular neoplasm in 3 and 23 benign lesions. 7 patients were operated on and had final pathology reports (4 papillary Ca and 3 benign lesions). All the nodules with no MIBI ...
متن کاملSolitary Fibrous Tumor of Neck Mimicking Cold Thyroid Nodule in 99m Tc Thyroid Scintigraphy
A 68-year-old man had a rapidly growing, painless neck mass, thought to be nodular goiter. Ultrasonography showed a giant, heterogeneous mass occupying the middle and superior poles and protruding outside of the left thyroid lobe. The results of the thyroid function tests were normal. Thyroid scintigraphy revealed a large hypoactive nodule in the left thyroid lobe. Complete surgical removal of ...
متن کاملThallium-201 scintigraphy in differentiated thyroid cancer: comparison with radioiodine scintigraphy and serum thyroglobulin determinations.
The role of thallium-201 (201TI) scintigraphy in the follow-up evaluation of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is controversial. Desirable characteristics of 201TI scintigraphy including the potential for no thyroid hormone withdrawal, immediate imaging postinjection, and low radiation burden relative to iodine-131 (131I) suggests it is logistically superior to 131I scintigraphy. Fifty-two...
متن کاملUltrasound of the cold thyroid nodule.
110 patients with thyroid nodules were examined by ultrasound during the period from April 1981 to June 1983. All patients had thyroid isotope scans which showed cold nodules. Subsequent surgery was performed in each case and histology of the lesions identified. Prior to the introduction of ultrasound the only useful preoperative diagnosis was made by thyroid scintiscanning." The present study ...
