a 54 years old female with history of total thyroidectomy for papillary carcinoma, treated with loomci of iodine-131 and negative whole body scans was referred for follow up study. tl-201 scan revealed an area of radiotracer uptake in the neck region, suggestive of a parathyroid adenoma versus recurrence of thyroid carcinoma. the patient was operated, the parathyroid adenoma was removed. in thi...
