  • Title: Incidental scintigraphic finding of ovarian teratoma containing normal thyroid tissue on post-radioactive iodine therapy for papillary thyroid cancer.
    Author: Gauthé M, Kelly A, Dejax C, Cachin F, Bourdel N.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 2013 Jun; 38(6):467-8. PubMed ID: 23531739.
    Abstract:
    Abnormal focal uptakes are often visualized on I post-treatment scintigraphy in case of differentiated thyroid carcinoma. For some of these, especially on atypical localization, it can be difficult to affirm the benign or malignant nature. A high serum thyroglubulin value after surgery may suggest the presence of metastatic disease. We report a case of an abnormal ovarian uptake on post-treatment scintigraphy associated with an elevated thyroglobulin value revealing finally an ovarian mature cystic teratoma containing normal thyroid tissue.
