Seat belt-related thyroiditis documented with thyroid Tc-99m pertechnetate scans.

چکیده
A 64-year-old man presented with clinical unilateral thyroiditis after chronic left neck trauma from his car seat belt. Thyroid function tests were normal. The initial thyroid Tc-99m pertechnetate scan demonstrated decreased uptake in the entire left lobe of the thyroid. The follow-up scan 1 month later showed a more normal uptake in the left lobe. This patient's clinical course, laboratory values, and nuclear medicine scans are compatible with thyroiditis secondary to trauma sustained from his seat belt.

Analysis of the factors associated with Tc-99m pertechnetate uptake in thyrotoxicosis and graves' disease.
To determine the factors associated with 20 minute Tc-99m pertechnetate thyroid uptake, we examined all patients in whom thyrotoxicosis was diagnosed at Chiba-Hokusoh Hospital, Nippon Medical School from 2001 April through 2003 March. Patients with thyrotoxicosis diagnosed during this period were 57 with Graves' disease (76%), 11 with transient hyperthyroxinemia (TH)(14.7%), and 7 with subacute...
متن کاملIncreased pertechnetate and radioiodine uptake in the thyroid gland with subacute thyroiditis and concurrent Graves' disease.
OBJECTIVE A 61 years old woman presented with low grade fever and weight loss for a month. Thyroid function tests showed hyperthyroidism: increased technetium-99m pertechnetate ((99m)Tc O(-)4) and radioiodine ((131)I) uptake and elevated thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibodies (TSHRAb). She also had high erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies of left thyro...
متن کاملAccumulation of technetium-99m pertechnetate in a patient with metastases of thyroid carcinoma.
Accumulation of both Tc-99m pertechnetate and radioiodine upon scintigraphy in thyroid carcinoma and/or in its metastases is a rare occurrence. In this paper we describe a patient who was taken to surgery for left lobectomy of the thyroid with follicular adenocarcinoma and who had accumulation of both I-131 and Tc-99m pertechnetate in lung metastases. The accumulation of I-131 was less than tha...

Follicular thyroid carcinoma is common in regions with insufficient iodine diets and represents approximately 10-20 % of all thyroid malignancies1,2. The treatment of patients suffering from follicular thyroid carcinoma includes surgery and radioiodine therapy3. Although after definitive therapy, the survival of these patients is good, these patients need to be followed for local recurrences an...
