That’s not Metastatic Thyroid Cancer: Patterns of Non-malignant Radioiodine Uptake |
| Author : Daniella F Pinho* |
| Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Radioactive Iodine (RAI) has been an integral part of the identification, surveillance, and treatment of the most common types of metastatic thyroid carcinoma since its first use in 1941. However, false positive uptake of RAI on whole body scintigraphy scans in tissues other than in metastatic disease is frequently observed. This article presents a case series of relatively uncommon situations of RAI uptake which could be mistaken for malignant uptake. Cases were divided into categories based on uptake mechanism: metabolic, physiologic, mechanism: metabolic, physiologic, inflammatory, and contamination. |

| Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :diagnosis is problematic, although predictive models (Pitt’s colonization index, Leon score and others)
can be helpful when deciding to initiate treatment. The incidence of candidiasis signifi cantly increases
the mortality of patients, although the timely commencement of antimycotic therapy is a key factor
in increasing their survival. In the present patient, antibiotic treatment with carbapenem was initiated |
