Orbital Radioiodine Uptake on Scintigraphy in a Patient with Thyroid Cancer

Discussion: Ocular and orbital metastases from thyroid cancer, as well as some non-neoplastic disorders or contamination, are possible causes for131I uptake in the orbital region in scintigraphy. Conjunctival inclusion cyst is a condition associated with incidental131I uptake that had not been reported before and should be ruled out as a non-metastatic cause of orbital radioiodine uptake in patients with PTC.Eur Thyroid J
