Popis:	99m Tc-sestamibi thyroid scintigraphy (STS) can aid in differentiating between types 1 and 2 amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT). We present a consecutive case series of 4 men (aged 56-75 years) in whom both 99m Tc-STS and thyroid histology were consistent with a diagnosis of type 2 AIT, representing the first reported histopathologic correlation for this diagnostic test. Median amiodarone treatment duration was 26 months (range, 10-39 months), and amiodarone was discontinued a median of 3 months preoperatively (range, 2-4 months) in all 4 cases. 99m Tc-STS is a promising functional imaging modality, which has the potential to aid clinicians in the diagnostic workup and treatment of AIT.
