  • Title: 131I and 124I Accumulation in a Thymic Cyst.
    Author: Wilhelm T, Winkens T, Kunze A, Freesmeyer M.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 2016 Dec; 41(12):972-974. PubMed ID: 27749419.
    Abstract:
    A 65-year-old woman presented with increased human thyroglobulin (3.3 ng/mL) 5 years after resection of a papillary thyroid carcinoma and successful I radioiodine therapy. I whole-body scintigraphy showed a small focus ventrally in the right lower neck, leading to suspicion of a papillary thyroid carcinoma recurrence. I-PET/CT and real-time PET/US fusion matched to a small hypoechoic/anechoic ovoid structure situated between the right sternoclavicular joint and the brachiocephalic trunk. After surgical resection, histology allowed a diagnosis of thymic cyst. A follow-up I whole-body scintigraphy showed no residual iodine accumulation.
