Sorry, regrowth thyroid patients post thyroidectomy. It was ultrasound, not CT scan, that revealed regrowth of so-far normal thyroid tissue after total thyroidectomy. The original diagnosis of papillary carcinoma of thyroid came in late July of 1972, when a surgical resident felt abnormal lymph nodes below the original tumor site that had been diagnosed " benign tumor of the salivary glands". The 2nd biopsy was diagnosed papillary carcinoma of the thyroid which at that time required a total thyroidectomy.
