ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

We report a 37 years old female operated for a multifocal papillarythyroid carcinoma. During her follow up, mediastinal uptake of radioiodine due to a persistent thymus, was detected. Thisis a situation may cause a false positive uptake of radioiodine that may be interpreted as a tumor relapse or metastasis.
