The increased TSH prompted review of his previous thyroid testing results (Table 1). The patient’s history revealed a diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma 8 months prior, which was treated with total thyroidectomy and I radioablation followed by L-thyroxine (Synthroid) treatment. This was his first follow-up visit for evaluation of recurrence of his disease.
