The Failure of Radiophosphorus to Identify Malignant Solitary Thyroid Nodules1

W. J. Simpson, M.D., F.R.C.P. (C).2

Toronto, Canada

ABSTRACT

Only one of six patients with malignant thyroid nodules showed an increased concentration of radiophosphorus. Two of the six benign adenomas, and one other benign nodule also concentrated radiophosphorus significantly. Thus, the concentration of 32P appears to be of little value in the exclusion or establishment of malignancy in clinically solitary thyroid nodules. As reported, radioiodine scans are of some value in this respect.
