Operated thyroid - case 162

Clinical data: A 47-year-old woman was referred for aspiration cytology. The patient underwent total thyroidectomy followed by radioiodine therapy because of a T2N1a papillary cancer. Two 15-mm large foci were found, one in the right and the other one in the left lobe. The surgery was performed 13 months ago, while the second radioiodine was 4 months before the present examination. On routine follow-up, the thyroglobulin proved to be elevated.

Palpation: no abnormality.

Laboratory data: thyroglobulin 3.85 microgram/L.
