case_images: The thyroid scintigraphy with technetium-99m showed a large cold nodule in the left lobe of the thyroid gland [Figure 2]. The patient was treated with methimazole, and after endocrinology consult and performing fine-needle aspiration from the left lobe of the thyroid nodule, pathology report showed follicular neoplasm.
