| Popis: | I-123 thyroid scans were performed on two female patients who both presented with the history of an enlarged right thyroid lobe on routine physical examination. Both studies showed unilateral uptake of I-123 on the right with no uptake on the left. The differential diagnosis of unilateral uptake includes postsurgical, hyperfunctioning autonomous adenoma, thyroiditis, hemiagenesis, abscess, postirradiation, colloid cyst, or some type of benign or malignant tumor (1). Results of thyroid function tests and iodine 4-hour and 24-hour uptakes were normal. Neither patient had prior thyroid surgery |
