Introduction: Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) mediated hypercalcemia is often severe and more resistant to medical treatment. 18F-Fluorocholine PET/CT is a new technique used for determining the localization of parathyroid lesions. Denosumab, novel antiresorbtive agent, has been shown to have a useful role in hypercalcemia treatment. We report a male patient in long-term follow-up of PC who had refractory hypercalcemia due to pulmonary metastases revealed with 18-Fluorocholine PET/...

Aim: Radioactive iodine (RAI) is one of the treatment approaches in Graves and toxic nodular or multinodular goiter (TNG/TMNG) with low cost and high efficacy. In this study, we aimed to evaluate ultrasonographical and cytological features of thyroid nodules in patients who were treated with radioactive iodine for hyperthyroidism years ago.Methods: Patients who had a history of RAI treatment for hyperthyroidism and had thyroid nodules that were evaluated...

When follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) is diagnosed, 25% of the patients extrathyroidal invasion, 5–10% lymphatic metastasis and 10–20% distant metastasis are determined. The most common site of distant metastases of FTC is the lung, followed by the bone. The incidence of skull metastasis of FTC is about 2.5–5.8%. Skull metastasis of FTC was located in the skull base and occipital area.Case: A 60-year-old man admitted at 2006. He was oper...
