Metastasis to the pituitary gland/sella turcica is an uncommon complication of thyroid cancer. Treating this condition is a challenge in the setting of pituitary insufficiency due to this lesion, and recombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone (rhTSH) stimulation becomes critically essential. We present a rare case of an 82-year-old female patient with follicular carcinoma of the thyroid with metastasis to the sella turcica in addition to multiple skeletal and lung metastases. MRI of the brain showed a hypointense suprasellar lesion on T 1 weighted images. The thyroid-stimulating hormone level remained persistently low even 4 weeks after thyroidectomy. A whole-body pertechnetate scan could not localize any abnormal tracer uptake and radioactive iodine uptake was also persistently low. The patient did not have symptoms related to pituitary involvement but TSH and early morning adrenocorticotrophic hormone levels were low. After thorough discussion with the neurosurgeon and radiotherapist, it was decided to start the patient on high-dose radioiodine treatment. Persistently low TSH level was a concern for starting radioiodine therapy. In view of this clinical context, rhTSH stimulation was used to achieve adequate TSH levels prior to radioiodine therapy. Subsequently, the patient was treated with 3.7 GBq (100 mci) of high-dose radioiodine. A post-therapy scan demonstrated radioiodine concentration in the thyroid bed remnant, multiple skeletal lesions and the sellar region. Thus, the use of rhTSH was critical in the management of this patient. It helped in radioiodine treatment by stimulating radioiodine uptake in the remnant and at the metastatic sites.
