Post-thyroidectomy I-131 sodium iodide scans revealed foci of uptake outside the thyroid bed in two patients. In each case, these areas corresponded to sites where ectopic or aberrant thyroid tissues could be found. The presence of metastatic disease significantly affects the appropriate therapy, as well as the overall prognosis. An appreciation of the potential locations of ectopic thyroid tissues that may mimic metastatic disease and potentially confound diagnosis are stressed.
甲状腺切除术后的碘-131 碘化钠扫描显示，两名患者的甲状腺床外有摄取灶。在每种情况下，这些区域都与可发现异位或迷走甲状腺组织的部位相对应。转移性疾病的存在会显著影响适当的治疗以及总体预后。强调了认识可能模拟转移性疾病并可能混淆诊断的异位甲状腺组织的潜在位置。
