Meme dokusunda tek taraflı Tc-99m perteknetat tutulumu: Laktas- yon dönemindeki bir hastada nadir patern

Meme dokusunda tek taraflı Tc-99m perteknetat tutulumu en sık meme karsinomu ile fibroadenom gibi meme hastalıklarında izle- nir. Meme dokusundaki Tc-99m perteknetat tutulumu, transmembrenal yerleşimli bir protein olan sodyum/iyot taşıyıcı proteinine bağlıdır. Bu proteinin ekspresyonu laktasyonda artar. Bu vaka takdiminde, tiroid sintigrafisinde saptanan ve tek taraflı olarak meme dokusunda Tc-99m perteknetat tutulumu gösteren, laktasyon dönemindeki bir hasta sunulmuştur

Unilateral Tc-99m pertechnetate uptake of breast tissue: Unusual pattern in a lactating patient

Common causes of unilateral breast uptake of Tc-99m pertechnetate are breast carcinoma and benign breast diseases like fibroadeno- ma. Uptake of Tc-99m pertechnetate into the breast tissue depends on transmembrane sodium/iodide symporter and the expression of this protein is enhanced during lactation. In this case report, we present a postpartum patient with unilateral breast uptake of Tc- 99m pertechnetate which was detected during thyroid scintigraphy
