Differentiated thyroid cancer with thyroglobulin elevation and negative iodine scintigraphy (TENIS) syndrome is a diagnostic and therapy dilemma. In this study, we present a case of TENIS with detectable metastases in the larynx and lung on the CT scan. 68Ga-fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) PET/CT was performed for further detection of tumor recurrence and metastases, which showed intense 68Ga-FAPI activity in the metastatic lesions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of TENIS presenting with FAPI-avid metastatic lesions, demonstrating its usefulness for localizing recurrent or metastatic lesions in patients with TENIS.
