title: Single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography iodine-131 uptake of bronchiectasis masquerading as metastatic thryroid disease.
abstract: We report a 37-year-old female who underwent radioiodine treatment, with subsequent scintigraphy findings suggestive of pulmonary metastatic disease. The abnormal uptake on single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography correlated with a focal area of the right middle lobe bronchiectasis.
