Incidental extraosseous uptake seen on Tc-99m methylene
diphosphonate (MDP) bone scan is not unusual. We discuss
here an incidental thyroid uptake in a 55-year-old female patient
affected by breast cancer treated by total mastectomy, who underwent
total body bone scintigraphy as a staging study. In the
positron emission tomography era, traditional nuclear medicine
imaging still has an important role in the diagnostic field, and
incidental findings may be very useful in patient management,
revealing unknown diseases and allowing correct therapeutic
decisions
