RESUMO
ABSTRACT: 131I scan plays a crucial role in the management of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer for the evaluation of remnant thyroid tissue, residual/recurrent metastatic disease, posttherapy tracer distribution, and response assessment to high-dose 131I therapy. Different causes secondary to physiological, pathological, and anatomical variations have been described for false-positive findings in the whole-body planar images. This case report of a patient of differentiated thyroid cancer with undocumented trauma to the left knee region a day before receiving the high-dose radioiodine therapy showed an interesting image finding of tracer uptake at unusual site in the posttherapy whole-body 131I scan.
