Radioiodide imaging of struma cordis
- 1. Bowman Gray School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, NC (USA)
Description
This is the first reported case in which struma cordis was demonstrated with radionuclide imaging. A 56-year-old white woman underwent surgical excision of a benign intracardiac thyroid mass (struma cordis).
