Abstract
We report a case of a 44-year-old female thyroid cancer patient with a pituitary tumour. 131I whole body scanning showed a change of chest uptake from a unilateral crescent uptake to a bilateral full breast uptake pattern. Hyperprolactinaemia and a pituitary tumour were diagnosed as a result of observing the 131I breast uptake.
