- Abstract
A 71-year-old male patient was diagnosed with papillary carcinoma follicular variant after bilateral total thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine treatment was applied. The post-therapeutic whole-body scan demonstrated a focal 131-I uptake in the right lobe of the liver in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. Single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) was performed to determine the precise localization of 131-I uptake. It was understood that the identified focal 131-I activity was due to cholelithiasis. In the same period, free-floating gallstones in the lumen and the gallbladder neck were observed on the abdominal ultrasonography.
