Radioiodine uptake by metastatic nonthyroidal adenocarcinoma of the lung in a patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articlepeer-review

Abstract

A 49-year-old woman with a history of a hysterectomy for carcinoma of the cervix and papillary thyroid carcinoma showed multiple pulmonary metastases on chest radiography. An I-131 scan revealed multiple areas of increased uptake in the chest. These lesions were found to be metastatic cervical adenocarcinoma. The radioiodine uptake by the metastatic cervical adenocarcinoma of the lungs occurred in the presence of normal thyroid imaging in a patient with a thyroid nodule and papillary thyroid carcinoma.
