Abstract
- Abstract: A 23-year-old man with papillary thyroid cancer underwent radioiodine ( 131 I) treatment following total thyroidectomy and node dissection. Posttreatment 131 I SPECT/CT images revealed an additional focus of increased 131 I activity in the left adrenal gland, raising suspicion for possible adrenal metastasis. Ultimately, pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of an adrenal cyst.<br />Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest and sources of funding: none declared.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
