Hyperthyroidism from thyroid metastasis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
A nontender goiter rapidly developed in a 54-year-old patient with suspected disseminated carcinoma. Thyroid function tests showed increased thyroxine, triiodothyronine resin uptake, free thyroxine index, and free thyroxine. Radioactive iodine uptake by the gland was near zero, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) was undetectable. Histologic examination of the thyroid before and after death showed invasion and disruption of the thyroid follicles by adenocarcinoma (pancreatic primary). Release of thyroglobulin by follicular disruption probably resulted in hyperthyroxinemia and suppression of TSH and radioactive iodine uptake, as occurs in subacute thyroiditis.
Hepatic adenomas and focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver in young women on oral contraceptives: case reports.
Two cases of hepatic adenoma and one of focal nodular hyperplasia presumably associated with the use of oral contraceptives, are reported. Special reference is made to their clinical presentation, which may be totally asymptomatic. Liver-function tests are of little diagnostic value, but valuable information may be obtained from both liver scanning and hepatic angiography. Histologic differences and clinical similarities between hepatic adenoma and focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver are discussed.
Bone scan artifact caused by hyperhidrosis: case report.
An unusual unilateral axillary concentration of radioactivity was observed in a bone scan. The cause was contamination of the patient's undershirt due to localized hyperhidrosis.

Evaluation of myocardial revascularization utilizing Tc-99m pyrophosphate.
Early clinical application of technetium 99m labeled pyrophosphate for cardiac imaging has revealed a safe noninvasive method of determining areas of impaired myocardial perfusion in patients with atherosclerotic occlusive coronary artery disease. Using this method, we were able to demonstrate improvement in myocardial blood supply following coronary artery bypass surgery.
