However, she presented within 5 months with a new swelling at the left thyroid bed with her iPTH and calcium levels still within normal range. 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) was performed as a different pathology was suspected in view of the rapid reoccurrence of disease [Figures 1 and 2].
The fused axial positron emission tomography-computed tomography images - (a-d) show metastatic disease in the left maxillary antrum, left thyroid bed, left lung and left adrenal respectively with increased 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake
