ABSTRACT

A 57-year-old woman was referred for radioactive iodine therapy 12 weeks after completion thyroidectomy and left modified radical neck dissection for pT2N1Mx follicular variant papillary thyroid carcinoma. After 4 weeks of L-thyroxine withdrawal, stimulated serum thyroglobulin level was less than 0.1 ng/mL with positive thyroglobulin antibody. Posttherapy 131I scintigraphy with SPECT/CT o f the head and abdominopelvic region showed thyroid residual in the neck, occipital bone metastasis, and heterogenous tracer uptake in a large peritoneal mass, likely arising from the left ovary. Left salpingo-oophorectomy was performed, and histopathologic examination revealed endometrioid carcinoma of left ovary.
