Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a tumor that occurs very rarely in the thyroid gland. There are only 47 cases reported in the literature until now, with different clinical course and treatment regimens. Here we present a patient with distant metastasis one year after the diagnosis, where we report the use of PET-CT for the first time in the evaluation of response to chemotherapy, proving to be a useful tool in monitoring and evaluating the response to it and achieved complete remission with the regimen used.

Keywords : Mucoepidermoid carcinoma; Thyroid; Metastases.
