Hybrid SPECT/CT Helps Characterization and Localization of a Dual Thyroid Ectopia

ملخص البحث
The presence of ectopic thyroid tissue in 2 or more different sites is rare. A 12-year-old girl presented with midline anterior neck swelling in the infrahyoid region with subclinical hypothyroidism. Thyroid scanning with 99mTc-pertechnetate was performed, and SPECT/CT was ordered for further evaluation. Two hyperdense lesions demonstrating intense ra- diotracer uptake were seen in the midline at the base of the tongue and infrahyoid neck. We emphasis the role of hybrid SPECT/CT for charac- terization and localization of suspected ectopic thyroid tissue.
