The monoclonal anti-CEA F(ab’)2 fragment MAb BW 431/31, labelled with 123I or111 In, was used for immunoscintigraphy (IS) in 9 patients with medullary cancer of the thyroid (CCC). The results of 11 studies lead to the following conclusions: 1) When using radioiodine as a label for MAb in IS, potassium iodide is absolutely necessary to block the thyroid which is of special importance in patients with thyroid cancer; 2) Preinjection of “cold” MAb reduces the relatively high unspecific uptake (especially in bone marrow) of MAb BW 431/31, which is of special importance for the antibody labelled with 111 In; 3) IS with MAb BW 413/31 in patients with CCC and elevated serum CEA is positive only in cases with large secondaries; and 4) In patients with CCC and several manifestations of secondaries, only a single (large) metastasis may be apparent.

A 44-year-old man presented with an enlarged painful lower anterior neck lump with elevated serum concentrations of free thyroxine (T4) and tri-iodothyronine (T3), alongside the presence of antithyroid peroxidase antibodies. Prior to presentation, the patient was demonstrating recovery from a SARS-CoV-2 infection that required sedation, intubation, and invasive ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU) for 11 days. Ultrasound examination of the thyroid demonstrated features of De Quervain’s (subacute) thyroiditis. This corresponded to the clinical picture, and continuous thyroid function tests were arranged. Emerging evidence throughout the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic describes the long-term sequelae of the infection, including developing atypical effects on the thyroid gland. This case report emphasises the association of painful subacute thyroiditis with post-viral infection and its manifestation during recovery from severe SARS-CoV-2, suggesting that follow-up thyroid function testing should be considered in patients discharged from the ICU who develop neck discomfort.

CONTEXT: Meigs' syndrome consists of a benign ovarian tumor accompanied by ascites and hydrothorax. Elevated serum CA 125 levels in postmenopausal women with solid adnexal masses, ascites and pleural effusion are highly suggestive for malignant ovarian tumor. However, patients with Meigs' syndrome can also have elevated serum CA 125 levels. The authors report a case of Meigs' syndrome with elevated CA 125 level. OBJECTIVE: This is a case report of Meigs' syndrome with elevated CA 125 level. CASE REPORT: A 65-year-old Brazilian woman had presented progressive dyspnea, weight loss and decline in general condition over the 7 months preceding admission to our service. In another hospital, the patient had been submitted to thoracic drainage due to pleural effusion. With recurrence of the pleural effusion and increase in abdominal volume due to ascites and a pelvic mass, the patient sought our service. Transvaginal ultrasound showed an extensive adnexal solid mass of 16.4 x 10.8 cm located in the pelvis without exact limits, and the serum CA 125 level was elevated. With a preoperative diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma, the patient was submitted to exploratory laparotomy, which revealed a left ovarian tumor. The frozen section diagnosis was thecoma. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed. The histology of the specimen confirmed the diagnosis of thecoma. The patient was asymptomatic with a normal serum CA 125 level 20 months after the operation.
