Abstract
Papillary thyroid carcinoma in childhood frequently presents with locoregional lymph node metastases. The distant metastases often involve lungs and the bone, whereas brain metastasis is rare. We report a case of classic variant-papillary thyroid carcinoma with right cerebellar metastasis in a 7-year-old girl on a 123 I SPECT/CT study. A brain MRI on the same day shows a tiny millimetric enhancing nodule in the right cerebellum with no perceivable perilesional edema, confirming the 123 I scan findings.
