SPECT/CT imaging of a retroperitoneal nodule in a patient with history of infiltrating renal urothelial carcinoma.

چکیده
A 62 year old woman status post radical nephroureterectomy for high grade urothelial carcinoma was found on CT to have a 1 cm retroperitoneal nodule in the nephrectomy bed. The nodule's differential diagnosis included recurrent urothelial carcinoma versus relocation of the patient's splenule seen on earlier CT imaging. We report using SPECT/CT with Tc-99m labeled denatured red blood cells to definitively diagnose the nodule as a relocated splenule.

Multiple non-malignant iodine uptake in a 131I whole body scan of a patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma: Importance of SPECT/CT
After thyroidectomy in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients, whole body radioiodine scan (WBIS) is necessary for localization of any abnormal radioiodine avid lesions. However false-positive radioiodine uptake in WBIS can be problematic. We report a 32 years old female patient with PTC. After thyroidectomy and radioiodine therapy WBIS was performed. In her post therapy WBIS, there were zo...
متن کاملA Rare Case of Metastasis of Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma to the Thyroid Gland, Presenting as a Goiter Nodule, Three Years After Nephrectomy
Thyroid gland metastatic tumors are rare in clinical practice. Clear cell RCC is one of common metastatic tumors to thyroid. We here reported a case of incidentally found clear cell renal carcinoma metastasis to the thyroid gland 3 years after nephrectomy, in the thyroidectomy procedure performed for the patient due to the thyroid enlargement caused by multinodular goiter. A 65-year-old Iranian...

Bladder cancer most commonly exists as an epithelial tumor in which around 90% of cases are transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) with a papillary appearance. The world health organization (WHO) classification defines new histological and molecular variants of urothelial carcinoma in 2004. One of them is plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma (PUC). Less than 100 cases have been reported in the literatu...

A 34 year old woman with malaise, polyuria and nocturia as well as nausea and vomiting referred to perform a thyroid scan due to right thyroid lobe mass. The scan showed a cold nodule in the right thyroid lobe. Serum calcium of 16.9, serum phosphorus of 1.8 and PTH of 1156 were noticed in laboratory tests. Parathyroid scan with 99mTc-MIBI showed no abnormal tracer activity in the nec...
متن کاملUtility of 99mTc-Sestamibi SPECT/CT in the Early Localization of Metastatic Parathyroid Carcinoma
Parathyroid carcinoma is very rare, with only a few documented cases. Hence, metastatic lesions are infrequently documented on scintigraphic imaging. We present a case of a 63-year-old female presenting with elevated serum levels of ionized calcium and parathyroid hormone (PTH) who was referred to our department for a parathyroid scan with SPECT/ CT. Parathyroid scintigraphy showed a focus of i...
