FDG PET/BT görüntülemede tiroid bezinde rastlantısal saptanan fokal artmış FDG tutulumunun klinik önemi
Öz
Amaç: Bu çalışmada
tiroid bezinde önceden malignite varlığı bilinmeyen olgularda, FDG PET/BT
görüntüleme sırasında rastlantısal saptanan fokal artmış FDG (RSFA-FDG)
tutulumunun prevalansı, klinik önemi ve malignite oranlarını araştırmak
amaçlandı.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Mayıs 2014- Eylül 2016 tarihleri arasında FDG PET/BT
görüntülemesi yapılan 7267 hastada tiroid bezinde RSFA-FDG tutulumu saptanan
193 (%2.6) olgunun klinik takipleri ve SUVmax değerleri retrospektif
değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Tiroid bezinde RSFA-FDG tutulumlarının SUVmax değeri 3 -71
arasında olup ortalama 9.13±7.4 olarak saptandı. Hastaların %54.4’ünde
(105/193) olası tiroid patolojileriyle ilgili inceleme yapıldığı görüldü. 39
hastanın (%20.2) patolojik incelemesi mevcut olup, bunların 10’u tiroidektomi
materyali, 29 tanesi ise biyopsi sonucuydu. Biyopsi yapılan 29 hastadan iki
olgu tiroid papiller karsinomu (TPK), dört olgu TPK yönünden kuşkulu, biri
metastatik odak, 22’si ise benign hastalıklar lehine raporlanmıştı. Opere olan
10 hastanın beşinde TPK, ikisinde metastatik odak, kalan üç vakada ise tiroidin
benign nodüler hastalıklarıyla uyumlu bulgular saptanmıştı. Malignite tanısı
alan 10 tiroid nodülünde SUVmax değeri 3- 34.9 arasında olup
ortalama SUVmax: 12.5±9.1 idi. Serimizde FDG PET/BT görüntülemede
RSFA-FDG tutulumu gösteren tiroid nodülü saptanma oranı %2.6 olup, hastaların
%20.2’sinde patolojik inceleme yapılmış, malignite oranı %25.6 (10/39) olarak
saptanmıştır.
Sonuç: FDG PET/BT
görüntüleme sırasında saptanan RSFA-FDG tutulumunda malignite oranının yüksek
olduğu görülmektedir. Hastaların büyük bölümüne ileri inceleme yapılmamış
olması primer maligniteye bağlı sağ kalım beklentisinin kısa olmasına bağlı
olabilir.

Clinical significance of random finding of focal increased activity in thyroid gland on FDG PET/CT imaging
Öz
Aim: We aimed to investigate prevalence,
clinical significance and malignancy rates of incidentally detected focal
increased FDG uptake in thyroid gland on FDG PET/CT imaging in cases without
known thyroid malignancy.
Materials and Methods: Of the 7267
patients who underwent FDG PET/CT imaging between May 2014 and September 2016,
193 (2.6%) patients who had incidentally detected focal increased FDG uptake in
thyroid gland were enrolled into the study for retrospective evaluation of
clinical follow-up and SUVmax values.
Results: The SUVmax values of incidentally detected focal increased FDG
foci ranged between 3-71, with an average of 9.13±7.4. Of the 193 patients, 105
(54%) were examined for possible thyroid diseases. A total 39 (20.2%) patients
(10 histopathological, 29 cytological) had pathological examination. In cytological
examination, two thyroid papillary carcinomas (TPC), one metastasis and 22
benign lesions were reported and four were suspicious for TPC. Five TPC, two
primary tumor metastasis and three benign nodular diseases were detected in 10
patients who underwent sugery. In 10 thyroid nodules pathologically confirmed
as malignancy, SUVmax values ranged from 3 to 34.9 (mean 12.5±9.1).
In our
series, incidental thyroid nodules with focal increased FDG uptake were
detected in 2.6% of FDG PET/CT examinations. Pathological examination was
performed in 20.2% of those patients and malignancy rate was 25.6% (10/39).
Conclusion: Rate of malignancy is high in
incidentally detected focal increased FDG uptake on FDG PET/CT imaging. The
fact that majority of patients have not undergone further examination may be
due to the short survival expectancy due to primary malignancy.
