Technetium (Tc99m) thyroid scintigraphy in the projection of the thyroid gland did not visualize the accumulation of Tc99m but showed the inhomogeneous accumulation of radiopharmaceuticals in the projection of the base of the tongue (Figure 1).
Magnetic resonance imaging of the neck, sagittal view (T1W) showed a clearly limited
inhomogeneous nodular mass relative to the lumen of the oropharynx.
