Abstract

A case of supraclavicular metastatic follicular carcinoma which occurred 7 years after the patient had undergone total thyroidectomy is presented. By means of whole body 201-thallium scan, a precise diagnosis was made, while the whole body 131-I scan was negative. The thyroglobulin serum levels were high before surgery but significantly decreased after lymphadenectomy. The clinical use of this tracer to detect functioning and non-functioning metastases of thyroid carcinomas is discussed.
