title: Increased iodine uptake in the Nabothian cyst.
abstract: A 31-year-old female patient with papillary thyroid cancer, status post-total thyroidectomy and radioablation with (131)I underwent posttherapy whole-body scan with SPECT, which revealed increased iodine activity in the cervix. The subsequent ultrasound examination demonstrated that the site of elevated iodine activity was caused by cervical Nabothian cyst.
