can a hot nodule disappear in thyroid scintigraphy without any therapies?
Authors
abstract
a 63-year-old woman presented with a history of hyperthyroidism symptoms over two years, referred for thyroid scintigraphy. in the hospital archives we have met her previous thyroid scintigraphy showing a hot nodule in the upper part of right thyroid lobe. however, her recent thyroid scintigraphy was showing only cold nodules but no hot nodule, giving an impression that she had some treatment to her hot nodule. even though she was advised to medical treatment and also referred for radioactive 131i therapy, she refused all the treatment and she only had some branches of dill (anethum graveolens) as home remedies whenever she had her symptoms, letting us to think, if it is the dill effect.

Ectopic thyroid tissue results from abnormal embryologic development and migration of the thyroid gland. True malignant transformation in ectopic thyroid tissue is extremely rare and is always diagnosed after surgical excision of the lesion by pathology examinations. There are well-documented cases of ectopic thyroid cancer while primary tumoral lesion occurs in the orthotopic thyroid, but only...
full textAn Experimental Comparison of Two Different Technetium Source Activities Which Can Imitate Thyroid Scintigraphy in Case of Thyroid Toxic Nodule
PURPOSE In cases of thyroid toxic autonomous nodule, anterior projection of Tc-99m pertechnetate image shows a hot nodule that occupies most, or the entire thyroid lobe with near-total or total suppression of the contra lateral lobe. In this case is very difficult to distinguish toxic nodule from lobe agenesis. Our interest was to estimate and determinate the rate of radioactivity when the sour...

This is a retrospective study on clinical course and treatment response of patients with thyroid hot nodule, referred to nuclear medicine department of Shariati Hospital from 1360 to 1377. From the total 58 patients with average age of 43 yr and incidence peak of 40 yr, 81% were female and 19% were male. 64% of the patients were thyrotoxic and 36% were euthyroid at presentation. Thyrotoxi...

Thyroglobulin gene mutation is a rare cause of congenital hypothyroidism, but thyroglobulin gene mutations are thought to be associated with thyroid cancer development. A 21-year-old Japanese man treated with levothyroxine for congenital hypothyroidism had an enlarged thyroid gland with undetectable serum thyroglobulin despite elevated serum TSH level. The patient was diagnosed with thyroglobul...
