Occult thyroid carcinoma detected by FDG-PET scan in elderly osteosarcoma patients: report of two cases.
Osteosarcoma is a rare tumor in elderly patients. Simultaneous osteosarcoma and thyroid papillary carcinoma are much rarer, especially in the absence of early radiation or cancer predisposition. We present two patients with concurrent osteosarcoma and thyroid cancer that were detected using positron-emission tomography.
