F-18 PET/CT and I-131 SPECT/CT hybrid nuclear imaging is of great value in assessing ectopic thyroid carcinoma. F-18 FDG PET/CT plays an important role in the primary tumour evaluation and distant disease detection. Ga-68 FAPIs are a promising alternative. I-131 SPECT/CT adds important information related to the anatomical characterization of primary and distant iodine-avid lesions.
