Immunotherapy and Thyroid Dysfunction: Relevance to Nuclear Medicine.

We report a case of a 66-year-old woman with small cell lung cancer (stage IIB, T2N1M0), who received immunotherapy with nivolumab monthly for 2 months and then presented with thyrotoxic symptoms associated with suppressed thyroid-stimulating hormone levels and elevated free thyroid hormone levels, although previous thyrotropin performed 1 month ago was normal. Thyroid uptake and scan demonstrated diffusely decreased uptake in both thyroid lobes. The 4-hour percentage uptake was 0.
