case_images: A 99mTc-perthechnetate scan demonstrated a large hot area with inhomogeneous uptake and no cold areas inside corresponding to the nodule, with a suppressed uptake in the remaining thyroid tissue (Figure 1(a)). Right loboisthmectomy was performed (Figure 1(b)) and the histological examination revealed a follicular carcinoma with solid and trabecular parts and focal signs of angioinvasivity (Figures 2(a), (b)).
