Abstract
A patient with recurrent medullary thyroid cancer in the neck in whom previous surgery for recurrence had been undertaken with only partial success had the diseased tissue localized preoperatively by indium-111 pentetreotide. Scanning with technetium-99m V dimercaptosuccinic acid and iodine-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine failed to localize the tumor. Utilization of a nuclear surgical probe after preoperative 111In pentetreotide allowed accurate surgical localization of the tumour tissue.Entities:
