Abstract

We report a case of metastatic insular carcinoma of the thyroid evaluated with ²⁰¹Tl, ^99mTc-MIBI, ^99mTc-(V)DMSA, ^99mTc-MDP and ¹³¹I whole-body scans, which were obtained after total thyroidectomy. For the majority of lesions detected in the skeleton and soft tissue, ¹³¹I images were generally available, although most were visualized easier with ^99mTc- (V)DMSA. Technetium-99m-MDP images were considered better than ^99mTc- (V)DMSA images in showing bone lesions but not soft-tissue lesions. Both ²⁰¹Tl and ^99mTc-MIBI scans provided sufficient advantage to exhibit neck and mediastinal metastases, but they did not surpass ^99mTc-(V)DMSA in detecting abdominal or bony lesions. In this patient with various metastases from insular carcinoma of the thyroid, ^99mTc-(V)DMSA seemed to be the tracer of choice for whole-body imaging.
