Oncocytic Adenoma of Thyroid Incidentally Detected by 18F-Fluorocholine PET/CT.

چکیده
A 58-old-man underwent (18)F-fluorocholine PET/CT for restaging of prostate cancer because of a rising level of prostate-specific antigen.( 18)F-fluorocholine showed no significant tracer uptake at the site of the prostatectomy or the pelvic lymph nodes. Incidental high tracer uptake was observed in a 26 × 23 mm left thyroid nodule. A benign tumor of the thyroid (oncocytic adenoma of thyroid) was diagnosed after left loboisthmectomy.

Follicular thyroid cancer avid on C-11 Methionine PET/CT
A case of follicular thyroid cancer with intense focal Methionine uptake on 11C-Methionine PET/CT is reported here. The use of 11C-Methionine PET in differentiated thyroid cancer is currently being investigated as a surrogate tracer compared to the more widely used 18F-FDG PET. This case illustrates the potential incremental value of this modality, not only in the localizing of parathyroid aden...
متن کاملAdrenocortical Oncocytic Carcinoma and Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Incidentally Detected in an Asymptomatic Patient by F-18 FDG PET/CT
F-18 FDG is the most widely used tracer in molecular imaging and it is applied for many purposes mainly in malignant diseases. Incidental finding are common in FDG-PET/CT imaging and includes benign and malignant lesions. Among the rare tumors , adrenal oncocytomas are uncommon findings and incidental findings of thyroid malignancies are not rare. Oncocytoma is a rare adrenocortical tumor and m...
متن کاملComparison of 18F-Fluorocholine Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography and Four-dimensional Computed Tomography in the Preoperative Localization of Parathyroid Adenomas-initial Results
OBJECTIVE We aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of 18F-Fluorocholine (FCH)-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and four-dimensional (4D)- CT in detection and localization of eutopic and ectopic parathyroid adenoma (PA) in patients with hyperparathyroidism. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five patients with primary hyperparathyroidism underwent FCH-PET/CT after 60 min of 185 ...
متن کاملIncidental uptake of 18F-fluorocholine (FCH) in the head or in the neck of patients with prostate cancer
BACKGROUND Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) with (18)F-fluorocholine (FCH) is routinely performed in patients with prostate cancer. In this clinical context, foci of FCH uptake in the head or in the neck were considered as incidentalomas, except for those suggestive of multiple bone metastases. RESULTS In 8 patients the incidental focus corresponded to a benign tumour...
متن کاملVisualization of Parathyroid Hyperplasia Using 18F-Fluorocholine PET/MR in a Patient With Secondary Hyperparathyroidism.
Several imaging modalities exist for the detection of parathyroid adenomas in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. Unlike solitary parathyroid adenoma, parathyroid hyperplasia in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism hitherto is difficult to assess with any imaging modality. Our case of a young patient with chronic kidney failure illustrates that F-fluorocholine PET/MR might be an i...
