Diffuse radioiodine lung uptake in miliary thyroid carcinoma metastases

Journal Article · · Clin. Nucl. Med.; (United States)
; ; ;

A diffuse pattern of homogeneous tracer uptake is seen by I-131 scintigraphy in a patient with widespread miliary lung metastases due to papillary thyroid carcinoma. This case report emphasizes the need to include metastatic thyroid carcinoma in the differential diagnosis of miliary lung nodules.
