Double ectopic thyroid.
Ectopic thyroid gland is a well-known developmental anomaly. We present a child with a unique anatomical variant of this anomaly, namely double ectopic thyroid. The purpose of this report is to demonstrate the scintigraphic findings and to emphasize the importance of performing a thyroid scan in every case of thyroid ectopia to accurately identify all sites of functioning thyroid tissue.

[Papillary thyroid carcinoma with pulmonary metastases in a child].
Thyroid carcinoma is an uncommon disease in children, thus it is not always suspected early in the evaluation of a child with neck mass. Thyroid carcinoma in children can be treated effectively and has relatively good prognosis if diagnosed early. The lungs are the most common site for distant metastases and in many cases partial remission can be achieved with good quality of life. In this report we describe a child with bilateral neck masses diagnosed to have papillary thyroid carcinoma with neck and pulmonary metastases. This report aims to raise the physicians awareness of the disease in children. We review the diagnostic modalities and treatment of the disease in children.

The Usefulness of MIBI Scanning to Detect Underlying Carcinoma in Women with Acute Mastitis.
The efficacy of Tc-99m sestamibi scintimammography in the detection of breast carcinoma has been proven in previous studies. In this study we evaluated the influence of active mammary inflammation on Tc-99m sestamibi scintimammography and its ability to detect breast malignancy in the presence of this condition. Twenty-one women with acute nonpuerperal mastitis underwent breast scintimammography using Tc-99m sestamibi. Their mean age was 49.6 years. In 15 women the scan was positive, 2 suffered from inflammatory carcinoma of the breast, and all the other women had acute mastitis. Six patients had a negative scan, and in all of them, acute mastitis was diagnosed. Total accuracy, sensitivity and specificity in the detection of breast mastitis were 62%, 68%, and 88%, respectively. Scintimammography in patients with acute inflammation of the breast is frequently positive in the absence of malignant condition, therefore it should not be used during acute mastitis for the detection of breast cancer.
