Abstract:
In a prospective study for evaluation of the use of a monoclonal antibody directed against melanoma in the staging of patients affected by malignant melanoma, we report monoclonal antibody uptake in a follicular thyroid adenoma. Computed tomography, ultrasonography, and pertechnetate scintigraphy did not provide a certain diagnosis. Only pathologic examination of the surgical specimen was conclusive.
