Patients with advanced DTC who are refractory to I treatment have a life expectancy of 36 years and represent a group for whom there is a clear unmet medical need (1). Radioiodine refractory thyroid cancer is not common, with an estimated incidence of four cases per million population year (5% of patients with clinical thyroid cancer, 250 patients per year in France) (2,3). It occurs more frequ...
Nuclear Imaging in Patients with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer and Negative Radioactive Io-dine Scan
Background: Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy in the world; however, these patients usually experience a high survival rate if they receive appropriate and timely treatment. Meanwhile, patients classified as having differentiated thyroid cancer with high thyroglobulin and negative iodine scan [Differentiated thyroid cancer with thyroglobulin elevation and negative iodine sc...
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the potential of technetium-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile (Tc-99m MIBI) imaging as an alternative to I-131 total-body scan (I-131 TBS) for the follow-up of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed 87 Tc-99m MIBI imaging studies in 76 DTC patients who had total or near-total thyroidectomy followed by a radioactive iodine abla...
BACKGROUND፡ The thyroid, along with the breast, lung, and bone marrow, is among most radiosensitive organs. This study aims to assess rate of unnecessary radiation exposure thyroid gland in patients who had chest Computed Tomography (CT) at a large teaching hospital. 
 METHOD: Hospital-based retrospective cross-sectional on 1,306 underwent CT from July 2018 January 2019. Thyroid inclusion ...
Graves’ disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism in children. It is characterized by suppressed thyroid stimulating hormone and elevated thyroxine levels with varying levels of thyroid stimulating immunoglobulins; and evidence of increased iodine uptake on thyroid scan. It is a multisystem disease with interplay of genetics and environmental factors. Due to the insidious onset of sym...
We report a case of nocardiosis in an immunosuppressed elderly patient who presented with prolonged pyrexia. Nocardia asteroides was isolated from the thyroid, with CT scan evidence of dissemination to the brain, abdomen and lungs. The patient succumbed to illness despite aggressive therapy. Autopsy could not be performed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case from India...
Introduction Thyroid papillary carcinoma represents 75% of all thyroid cancer cases. It is more prevalent in the young and middle age group of patients. Distant metastases occur in 10% of cases. Metastases to lymph nodes can be the first sign of microcarcinoma. This is a case report where thrombophlebitis of popliteal vein and pulmonary embolic disease appeared to be the first manifestation of ...
CONTEXT The incidence of tall cell variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma that has metastasized to the pancreas is extremely rare. There has been only one previously reported case of pancreatic metastasis of the tall cell variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma. CASE REPORT We present the case of a patient who presented with tall cell variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma with metastasis to t...
