False-Positive Radioiodine Uptake in Simple Ovarian Cyst in a DTC Patient: A Case Report

Abnormal radioildine uptake can be caused by various pelvic lesions in differentiated thyroid cancer patient. Here we presented an abnormal uptake in the left side of the pelvic cavity on postablative I-131 scintigraphy in a 51-year-old woman with history of stage T1aN1M0 papillary thyroid cancer. T...

Sumario:Abnormal radioildine uptake can be caused by various pelvic lesions in differentiated thyroid cancer patient. Here we presented an abnormal uptake in the left side of the pelvic cavity on postablative I-131 scintigraphy in a 51-year-old woman with history of stage T1aN1M0 papillary thyroid cancer. The SPECT/CT fused imaging revealed the lesion in the left ovary. Laparoscopic bilateral adnexectomy showed a left ovarian mass (5 cm) and pathologic finding showed a simple ovarian cyst. The nonstimulated Tg immediately decreased to 143 ng/ml after bilateral adnexectomy 3 days later and to 0.109 ng/ml after 4-month follow-up. Timely intervention measures are very necessary for patients with ovarian cyst with abnormally elevated Tg level.
