The aim of this study is to report a patient who was diagnosed with a concurrent primary tumor by 18-fluoro-2-deoxy-glucose\udpositron emission tomography (FDG PET) imaging performed for staging of an endometrial cancer. FDG uptake was detected\udin the uterus, where the primary cancer was located, and in the left lobe of the thyroid gland. The biopsy sample from the\udhypermetabolic nodular lesion in thyroid gland revealed intermediate cytology according to Bethesda Classification. The\udpatient underwent hysterectomy and thyroidectomy. An endometrial carcinoma in the uterus and a multicentric thyroid\udpapillary carcinoma in the thyroid gland were diagnosed
