| Abstract |
We experienced a case with meningioma showing false positive I-131 uptake. A 55-years old female patient
underwent high dose (150 mCi) radioactive iodine therapy to ablate remnant tissue after total thyroidectomy for
papillary thyroid cancer. In addition to intense tracer uptake in thyroid bed, there was mild but focal abnormal
uptake in left frontal lobe of the brain on post-therapy I-131 whole body scan. Subsequent brain MR imaging
showed single mass lesion in left frontal lobe and the mass was resected under the impression of brain metastasis
of thyroid carcinoma. Pathologic report confirmed meningioma from the surgical specimen. (Korean J Nucl Med 38(3):272-273, 2004) |
