/sup 99m/Tc pertechnetate uptake in a thymoma: case report

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

A case is reported to /sup 99m/Tc pertechnetate accumulation within an anterior mediastinal thymoma during a search for substernal goiter. This reemphasizes the non-specificity of /sup 99m/Tc pertechnetate uptake and the need for caution in using this agent to detect ectopic thyroid tissue.
