Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A case of a patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma with false-positive iodine-131 accumulation in a nasolacrimal sac cyst has been reported. A 63-year-old woman underwent total thyroidectomy for multifocal papillary thyroid carcinoma. After the treatment, iodine-131 whole-body scintigraphy revealed uptake in the neck consistent with thyroid remnant tissue and focal uptake in the head. SPECT/CT revealed focal uptake in the anterior lateral wall of right nasal cavity. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated the area of radioiodine accumulation corresponded to cystic enlargement of the right lacrimal sac. |
