Radionuclide imaging with Tc-99m-pertechnetate in a patient with a mixed papillary-follicular carcinoma of the thyroid gland showed evidence of increased radioactivity at sites of functioning metastases. The use of Tc-99m-pertechnetate as well as I-131 for imaging in search of functioning thyroid metastases is discussed.
