Fortuitous discovery of non-fluorocholine-fixing papillary carcinoma of vesicular variant of the thyroid.

Purpose: Characterization of thyroid nodules is crucial to propose surgical intervention for histological verification. Cervical ultrasound potentially combined with fine needle aspiration is recommended, and fluorocholine positron emission tomography (FCH-PET), commonly used in prostatic cancers, has been evaluated in the diagnosis of thyroid cancers in recent publications.

Methods: We present two cases of patients with multinodular thyroid and primary hyperparathyroidism.
