Asia Ocean J Nucl Med Biol. 2026; 14(2): 187-192. doi: 10.22038/aojnmb.2026.87172.1625  \nIntroduction  \nTo our knowledge, this is the first documented case of the co-occurrence of OTC and TGCT-D. OTC, also referred to as oxyphilic carcinoma and previously known as Hürthle cell tumor, is a rare variant of differentiated thyroid cancer. It account for approximately 3% to 5% of all thyroid cancers, making it considerably less common than other subtypes (1, 2). Histologically, it does not exhibit the distinctive nuclear characteristics of papillary thyroid cancers (PTC) or the features associated with highgrade malignancies (1) .  \nThyroid cancer is twice as common in women as in men; however, men tend to have a worse prognosis. OTC is rare and is associated with high likelihood of recurrence, metastasis, and a  \npoor prognosis (1, 3). Compared with other types of thyroid cancer, OTC has a higher propensity for metastasis to regional lymph nodes and distant organs, including lungs, liver, and bones (2) . Recent studies have highlighted the role of radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy in management and improving overall survival particularly patients without extensive metastatic disease. Additionally, FDG-PET scan plays a decisive role in diagnosis, assessing disease extent, and treatment response. However, clinicians should remain aware of the potential for false-positive results, therefore clinical correlation always essential (4) .  \nTGCT is a rare, locally aggressive mesenchymal tumor including a group of typically benign, proliferative, and inflammatory conditions that  \narise from the synovium of joints, bursae, and tendon sheaths. Based on growth patterns and clinical behavior, TGCTs are classified into two subtypes: localized and diffuse (5-7) . It is caused by a mutation in the stromal cells of the synovial membrane, resulting in overproduction of colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF1) .
