Abstract

We present a rare case with inguinal iodine-131 (I-131) uptake on whole body scan. The patient was suffering from a painful right inguinal mass during menstrual period, which was later sonographically and histopathologically confirmed to be an inguinal focus of endometriosis. Endometriosis is a previously reported site of radioiodine uptake and detection of radioiodine uptake in the inguinal region has also been described. Nevertheless, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of I-131 uptake in an inguinal endometriosis focus. History and physical examination of the patient are both very important in identifying the etiology of the ectopic uptake sites on I-131 whole body scan, and inguinal endometriosis should be kept in mind while reporting inguinal radioiodine uptake on I-131 whole body scan.

Özet

Bu raporda iyot-131 (I-131) tüm vücut taramada inguinal bölgede tutulum saptanan nadir bir olguyu sunuyoruz. Menstrüel siklus sırasında ağrılı inguinal kitle şikayeti olan hastada, kitlenin daha sonra sonografik ve histopatolojik olarak inguinal endometriozis odağına ait olduğu konfirme edildi. Endometrioziste radyoaktif iyot tutulumu ve inguinal bölgede radyoaktif iyot tutulumunun saptanması daha önce bildirilmiştir; ancak inguinal endometriozis odağında I-131 tutulumu, bildiğimiz kadarıyla, ilk kez bu olguda sunulmaktadır. I-131 tüm vücut taramada ektopik tutulum alanlarının etiyolojisinin çözülmesinde hasta öyküsü ve fizik muayene çok önemli olup, I-131 tüm vücut taramada inguinal bölgede radyoaktif iyot tutulumu raporlanırken inguinal endometriozis de akılda bulundurulmalıdır.
