    Author: Fisher C, Vehec A, Kashlan B, Longa G, Houpt L, Howe K, Stark L, Cavanaugh D.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 2000 Jun; 25(6):469-70. PubMed ID: 10836698.
    Abstract:
    A 60-year-old man reported chest pain and shortness of breath. His medical history was negative for myocardial infarction but positive for "mini strokes" and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Tc-99m sestamibi cardiac imaging revealed an abnormal focus of increased activity in the left lobe of the thyroid. Although no cardiac abnormalities were found, a I-123 thyroid scan subsequently showed a solitary hypofunctioning nodule involving the middle and inferior aspects of the left lobe of the thyroid, which fine-needle aspiration proved was a Hurthle cell carcinoma.
