Kidney biopsy complications appear to be similar when using any of the three techniques examined in our study. However, ultrasound-guided trocar technique may yield lower biopsy adequacy when compared to non-trocar techniques.
Differentiated thyroid cancer frequently metastasizes but typically spreads to regional cervical lymph nodes and, in advanced cases, to the lungs and/or skeleton. Metastases to the skin/subcutaneous tissue are rare. We report a case of abnormal FDG uptake within a scalp metastasis on PET/CT in a patient with metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma. Because thyroid cancer can rarely metastasize to the skin and particularly the scalp, attention should be given to that region during interpretation of the images.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
