Discordant findings of Iodine-131 scintiscan and chest radiogram in carcinoma of thyroid patients. Indian Journal of Cancer. 2001 Jun-Dec; 38(2-4): 121-5http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/50433Since 1987, 560 patients have been treated in our department for carcinoma of thyroid with radioactive Iodine-131. Recently, we have come across a patient with bilateral pulmonary concentration of Iodine-131, that is visualised on Iodine-131 whole body scintiscan, whereas chest radiogram was negative. Respectively, the files of 560 patients of carcinoma of thyroid were analysed. It is found, out of 560 patients treated, 16 patients, had pulmonary concentration of Iodine-131. The chest radiogram was normal in six out of these 16 patients. Details of both chest radiogram and scintiscans are presented in this study.engAdenocarcinoma, Follicular --radiographyAdolescentAdultAgedCarcinoma, Papillary --radiographyFemaleFollow-Up StudiesHumansIodine Radioisotopes --diagnostic useLung --physiopathologyMaleMiddle AgedRetrospective StudiesThyroid Neoplasms --radiographyWhole-Body CountingJournal Article
