  • Title: Papillary carcinoma in ectopic thyroid detected by TJ-201 scintigraphy.
    Author: Michigishi T, Mizukami Y, Mura T, Nomura T, Watanabe K, Tonami N, Hisada K.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1991 May; 16(5):337-9. PubMed ID: 2054989.
    Abstract:
    A 37-year-old man with papillary carcinoma in an ectopic thyroid is presented. Excisional biopsy revealed the cervical mass to be a metastasis from thyroid cancer. X-ray, ultrasonography, and computed tomography, however, failed to identify the primary tumor in the thyroid. Incidental TI-201 uptake was noted in the midline of the anterior neck, and a palpable nodule was discovered in this area. Fine needle aspiration cytology demonstrated Class V papillary adenocarcinoma, and subsequent surgery confirmed a papillary carcinoma in the ectopic thyroid. This case suggests the usefulness of TI-201 scintigraphy for the detection of ectopic thyroid malignancy.
