Abstract
False-positive 131I accumulation in patients with thyroid carcinoma could be due to various etiologies. Herein, we reported a case of papillary thyroid carcinoma in a 36-year-old woman. She underwent a 131I radiotherapy after a transareola endoscopic total thyroidectomy. 131I scintigraphy showed a high uptake in the thyroid bed. Surprisingly, increased activity was also noted in the right areola area. This activity corresponding to the entry site of endoscope revealed on the following SPECT/CT.
