Metastasis to the thyroid from non-small cell carcinoma of the lung: findings in (18)F-FDG PET/CT study.
The incidence of thyroid metastasis from other primary malignancy is rare. In this case, we present the findings of (18)F-FDG PET/CT in thyroid metastasis from underlying non-small cell carcinoma of the lung and highlight the importance of tracer uptake pattern recognition within the thyroid on (18)F-FDG PET/CT study.
