“…As iodine uptake is mediated by the sodium-iodine symporter in thyroid and breast cancer, 10 it is hypothesized that some lymphoma cells may as well express sodium-iodine symporter. 9 Moreover, using primarily antibody vectors, leukemic cells were shown be sensitive to beta emission when exposed to 131 I, 11 thus explaining the drop of white blood cells after exposure. To our knowledge, this is the first presentation of diffuse accumulation of 131 I inside bone marrow in a posttherapeutic scintigraphy in relation with CLL, acting as a challenging and rare pattern during routine interpretation.…”
