Detection of solitary bone metastasis by 99mTc-octreotide scintigraphy in a patient with Hurthle cell carcinoma: A case report

A 75-year-old male patient with non-avid radioiodine Hurthle cell carcinoma was evaluated by 99mTc- octreotide scintigraphy, in order to find possible metastatic lesions. A bony metastatic lesion was detected by this procedure which was confirmed by histopathology.99mTc-octreotide scintigraphy is a...

Zusammenfassung:A 75-year-old male patient with non-avid radioiodine Hurthle cell carcinoma was evaluated by 99mTc- octreotide scintigraphy, in order to find possible metastatic lesions. A bony metastatic lesion was detected by this procedure which was confirmed by histopathology.99mTc-octreotide scintigraphy is a precise and cost-effective imaging modality for detection of non-iodine avid lesions in metastatic differentiated thyroid carcinomas.
