Abstract

A 53-year-old man with follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) was referred for renal scintigraphy using 99m Tc-DTPA to assess the kidney function. Unexpectedly, the images showed an abnormal uptake of radiotracer in the right pelvic region. It corresponded to the site of metastasis in the right ilium revealed on 131 I SPECT/CT images. The biopsy pathology of the ilium lesion demonstrated follicular thyroid cancer.
