Radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy plays an important role in the management of thyroid malignancies. Leukemia is a very rare complication of radioactive therapy. There are very few case reports with doses below 100 mCi causing leukemia. We report a case of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid treated with 80 mCi RAI who later developed acute myeloid leukemia. Thus, all patients with thyroid carcinoma treated with RAI should undergo periodic hematological examinations irrespective of RAI dose. Keywords: Radioactive iodine, thyroid carcinoma, acute myeloid leukemia

Radyoaktif iyot (RAİ) tedavisi tiroid malignitelerinin yönetiminde önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Lösemi, radyoaktif tedavinin çok nadir bir komplikasyonudur. 100mCi altındaki dozların lösemiye neden olduğunu bildiren çok az olgu raporu vardır. Biz, 80 mCi RAİ ile tedavi edilen ve sonrasında akut miyeoid lösemi gelişen bir tiroid papiller karsinom olgusunu bildiriyoruz. Bu nedenle uygulanan RAİ dozuna bakılmaksızın, RAİ ile tedavi gören bütün tiroid karsinomlu hastaların periyodik hematolojik tetkikleri yapılmalıdır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Radyoaktif iyot, tiroid karsinomu, akut miyeloid lösemi
