Abnormal uptake related to the thyroid gland on somatostatin receptor-targeted PET imaging: reported prevalence and rate of thyroid malignancy and parathyroid adenomas
In patients undergoing somatostatin receptor-targeted PET scans for evaluation of NENs, the prevalence of reported abnormal uptake within or adjacent to the thyroid gland was low. However, the rates of thyroid malignancy and parathyroid adenomas were substantial. Prospective studies are needed to determine the optimal diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for these incidental findings.
