ABSTRACT Treatment with a thyroid preparation was used in 75 cases of non-toxic goitre. In 63 cases there was nodular goitre in 12 diffuse goitre. The observation period varied from 3 to 42 months. The size of the goitre decreased in 50 cases (68 per cent) of which 40 had a nodular goitre and 10 a diffuse goitre. In the 63 cases with a nodular goitre the size of the nodules decreased in 39 cases and the nodules disappeared completely in 2 cases (65 per cent). In 5 cases (7 per cent) there was no change in the size of the thyroid or the nodules. Temporary factitious hyperthyroidism appeared in 7 cases but subsided rapidly after adjustment of the dose. In one case an endogenous hyperthyroidism evidently developed, probably owing to initial latent hyperthyroidism. Treatment of non-toxic goitre with thyroid preparations or hormones is recommended 1) in diffuse goitre, 2) in nodular goitre as a trial and 3) after thyroidectomy for compressive goitre. The value of radioactive iodine uptake or excretion tests for the assessment of the response to treatment and the adjustment of the dose is emphasized.

Background. False-positive pulmonary radioactive iodine uptake in the followup of differentiated thyroid carcinoma has been reported in patients with certain respiratory conditions.Patient Findings. We describe a case of well-differentiated papillary thyroid carcinoma treated by total thyroidectomy and radioiodine ablation therapy. Postablation radioiodine whole body scan and subsequent diagnostic radioiodine whole body scans have shown persistent uptake in the left hemithorax despite an undetectable stimulated serum thyroglobulin in the absence of interfering thyroglobulin antibodies. Contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography has confirmed that the abnormal pulmonary radioiodine uptake correlates with focal bronchiectasis.Summary. Bronchiectasis can cause abnormal chest radioactive iodine uptake in the followup of differentiated thyroid carcinoma.Conclusions. Recognition of potential false-positive chest radioactive iodine uptake, simulating pulmonary metastases, is needed to avoid unnecessary exposure to further radiation from repeated therapeutic doses of radioactive iodine.
