Abstract:
In a 62-year-old man with medullary carcinoma of the thyroid, a postoperative Tc-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid [(V) DMSA] study was requested. In the Tc-99m (V) DMSA scan. no abnormalities, indicating local recurrence or metastatic disease, were observed. However, there was increased uptake in the spleen and liver and significantly diffusely increased uptake in the bone marrow. The patient also had a history of myelofibrosis and these findings appear to have been the result of this pathology.
