Abstract

In this paper we report on a successful management of multiple bone metastases from differentiated thyroid cancer.

In 2007, a 75-year-old female patient, previously referred for thyroidectomy for multinodular goiter, underwent surgical removal of a lumbar mass with histological findings of metastasis from well differentiated thyroid cancer. After surgery, serum thyroglobulin (sTg) was 204.4ng/mL. A diagnostic/dosimetric 123I WBS was performed, following stimulation by rTSH. Serial WBSs were acquired, along with SPECT/CT and bone scan for localization of lesions. sTg raised to 3.810ng/mL, and 123I WBS showed thyroid remnants and numerous areas with high iodine-uptake corresponding to skeletal sites, the two largest loading on the skull, with osteolytic pattern. Calculated radiation absorbed dose for skull lesions, determined by mean of MIRD methodology, was 63.5mGy/MBq.

The patient underwent surgical removal of the two major skull lesions. Successively, 100mCi 131I was administered after stimulation by rTSH, with stimulated sTg 297ng/mL. After 8 months, diagnostic WBS was negative both for remnants and metastases and rTSH-stimulated Tg was 0.6ng/mL. To date, the patient has maintained sTg values <1ng/mL during L-T4 suppressive therapy and after rTSH stimulations.

In this unusual case of extensive bone cancerous involvement with high iodine avidity, a multidisciplinary approach based on surgery and dosimetry-guided radiometabolic therapy allowed to accurately assess the patient, execute a small number of treatments and achieve a complete remission of the disease in a very short time, with no additive morbidity.

Resumen

En este trabajo presentamos el abordaje adecuado de múltiples metástasis óseas de un cáncer diferenciado de tiroides.

En 2007, una mujer de 75 años previamente remitida para tiroidectomía por bocio multinodular, se sometió a la extirpación quirúrgica de una masa lumbar con resultado histológico de metástasis de cáncer bien diferenciado de tiroides. Tras la cirugía, los niveles séricos de tiroglobulina (Tgs) fueron 204,4ng/ml. Se realizó un rastreo de cuerpo completo diagnóstico/dosimétrico con 123I después de la estimulación con rTSH. Se adquirieron rastreos seriados junto con SPECT/TC y gammagrafía ósea para la localización de las lesiones. Los niveles de Tgs se elevaron a 3810ng/ml, y el rastreo de cuerpo completo con 123I demostró captación en restos tiroideos y en numerosas localizaciones esqueléticas, las dos de mayor tamaño en la calota con un patrón osteolítico. La dosis absorbida calculada para las lesiones de calota, determinada mediante metodología MIRD, fue 63,5mGy/MBq.

Se extirparon mediante cirugía las 2 lesiones de la calota. Posteriormente, se administraron 100mCi 131I tras la estimulación con rTSH y unos niveles de Tgs 297ng/ml. Después de 8 meses, el rastreo diagnóstico de cuerpo completo fue negativo tanto para los restos tiroideos como para las metástasis y la Tgs estimulada con rTSH fue 0,6ng/ml. En la actualidad, la paciente ha mantenido valores de Tgs <1ng/ml durante la terapia supresora con T4L y después de la estimulación con rTSH.

En este caso poco habitual de extensa afectación metastásica ósea con elevada captación de radioiodo, una estrategia multidisciplinaria basada en cirugía y radioterapia metabólica según dosimetría permitió evaluar con precisión a la paciente, administrar un número pequeño de tratamientos y alcanzar una remisión completa de la enfermedad en muy breve tiempo, sin originar morbilidad adicional.
