Thyroid carcinoma and hot nodule

S Fukata et al. Eur J Nucl Med. 1987.

Abstract

A 70-year-old woman presented with a nodule in the thyroid gland. 131I scintigraphy of the gland showed a hot nodule. Histology of the resected thyroid revealed a papillary adenocarcinoma. Although a thyroid carcinoma with a hot nodule seen on the radioiodine isotope scan is a very rare occurrence, it is clinically very important because it may indicate a thyroid malignancy.
