Inguinal Endometriosis Visualized on I-131 Whole Body Scan
We present a rare case with inguinal iodine-131 (I-131) uptake on whole body scan. The patient was suffering from a painful right inguinal mass during menstrual period, which was later sonographically and histopathologically confirmed to be an inguinal focus of endometriosis. Endometriosis is a previously reported site of radioiodine uptake and detection of radioiodine uptake in the inguinal re...
متن کاملComparison and evaluation of value of thymoglobulin level in serum and I-131 whole body scan (I-131 WBS) in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma [Persian]
This study was done in research institute of nuclear medicine from 1988-1992 for evaluation of the value of serum thyroglobulin level in comparison with 1-131 whole body scan (1-131 WBS) in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma. 204 patients who had total or near total thyroidectomy treated with 1-131 were evaluated in this study. Out of 204 patients 136 di...
متن کاملPost-Therapeutic I-131 Whole Body Scan in Patients with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
Therapy with radioiodine (I-131) has been used for patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancer such as papillary and follicular thyroid carcinoma to ablate normal thyroid tissue or to treat metastatic lesions. The improvement of survival rates and decrease of recurrence rates after I-131 therapy has been documented by retrospective studies (Mazzaferri & Jhiang, 1994; Samaan et al., 1992). ...
متن کاملImpact of Post-Thyroidectomy I-123 Versus I-131 Whole Body Scan on the Outcome of Radioactive Iodine (I-131) Ablation for Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma
Objectives: I-131 is a widely used radiopharmaceutical for the management of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). It is the main agent for the ablation of residual thyroid tissue and the treatment of recurrent or metastatic DTC. However, diagnostic doses of I-131 may cause some form of cell damage “stunning” which reduce subsequent uptake of the therapeutic dose of I-131. In co...
متن کاملThyroid stunning after (131)I diagnostic whole-body scanning.
TO THE EDITOR: From their study of patients referred for radioiodine ablation, Cholewinski et al. (1) concluded that diagnostic whole-body scanning can be performed effectively with a 185-MBq (5-mCi) dose of 131 I 72 h before radioiodine ablation with no evidence of, and therefore no concern for, thyroid stunning. Their study group consisted of 122 patients who were given a diagnostic dose of 1...
