Thyroid cancer with a high 123I-NaI uptake in primary and metastatic foci with euthyroidism.
A case of thyroid cancer showing both a high 123I-NaI uptake in primary and metastatic foci with euthyroidism was reported. Extrathyroidal uptake of radioactive iodine is emphasized to be suggestive of metastases of thyroid cancer even in an euthyroid state.
