Abstract:
It is unusual to observe I accumulation in the gallbladder and high-grade serous ovarian adenocarcinoma during posttherapeutic I scan. We report the case of a 55-year-old woman with papillary thyroid cancer, who received total thyroidectomy and then 3 courses of I therapy. The posttherapeutic whole-body scan after the third dose of I therapy revealed abnormal I uptake in the right upper abdomen, overlapping the liver, and the pelvis. Further SPECT/CT imaging found that they were from an enlarged gallbladder and a large pelvic complex solid and cystic mass, which was pathologically confirmed as bilateral high-grade serous ovarian adenocarcinoma.
