Abstract

We present the findings on iodine-131 (¹³¹I) scintigraphy, thallium- 201 (²⁰¹Tl) scintigraphy and quantitative thyroglobulin (QTG) estimation in two patients with follicular carcinoma of the thyroid with extensive metastases. The lesions were initially seen on ¹³¹I scintigraphs, but were not subsequently visualized with scanning doses of ¹³¹I (5 mCi), while retaining their ability to produce increasing amounts of thyroglobulin and take up ²⁰¹Tl. Implications in choosing the appropriate diagnostic tests in the management of differentiated thyroid cancer are discussed.
