Abstract
This is a case of thyrotoxicosis, presumably due to Jod-Basedow syndro me, after stable iodine ingestion for thyroid blockade in a patient wi th ovarian carcinoma having I-131-labeled monoclonal antibody imaging. With the increased use of radioiodinated antibodies, for therapy and imaging, this possible side effect of excess stable iodine adminstrati on should be noted, especially in patients with pre-existing goiter.
