The aim of the study was to ascertain the role of 131I scintigraphy (RIS) in the follow-up of oxyphilic thyroid carcinomas (OTC). It is discussed that metastases (M) and local recurrencies (LR) are incapable of accumulating 131I sufficiently; therefore, the usual strategy of RIS cannot be used for follow-up. The re-examination of 91 patients suffering from OTC showed that 10/20 patients with M/LR did have a positive uptake of 131I, which could be used for therapy in 8 patients. An ablation of M using high-dose 131I therapy could be demonstrated in three younger patients who had cervical lymph node M 3 months after thyroidectomy as an early manifestation of their disease. In three patients RIS first led to the metastatic site. The clinical course of patients with distant M that developed at a later stage was unfavourable, even though they did accumulate 131I. Patients with positive uptake of 131I in M/LR were significantly younger (55a) than patients who had no uptake (67a) and belonged more often to stage I and II of UICC, namely 7/10 vs 2/10. RIS should be used especially in an early interval after thyroidectomy and individually for follow-up: as a diagnostic method and therapeutic instrument.
