Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. Locoregional nodal involvement by OSCC is commonly encountered. Current conventional and functional imaging modalities have limited diagnostic accuracy in nodal assessment, particularly in head and neck cancer.

The uptake of Tc-99m-uptake of Tc-99m-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) on bone scintigraphy can be seen at sites other than bone in a varying number of benign and malignant conditions. Extraosseous metastatic calcifications can occur in ovarian papillary serous adenocarcinoma (PSAC). These extraosseous calcifications show Tc-99m-MDP uptake.

- - The peritoneal cancer index helps evaluate the extent of peritoneal disease before surgery.
- - Current imaging methods like 18 F-FDG PET/CT are better than CT but still underestimate the disease because of high background activity in the body.
- - A new imaging technique using 68 Ga-trivehexin targets cancer integrins, showing less background activity and potentially providing a more accurate assessment of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer.
Article Synopsis
- Metastases to the thyroid gland from other cancers are very uncommon, with the most frequent sources being kidney, colorectal, lung, and breast cancers.
- Rarely, laryngeal cancer can also spread to the thyroid gland, but this is not typical.
- Thyroid metastases usually indicate a poor prognosis and need to be distinguished from tumors that start in the thyroid itself; the text describes a case identified through advanced imaging techniques.
