Abstract
|
|
|
|
Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is a safe, simple, repeatable and cost-effective method, and has excellent sensitivity and specificity. Thus, it is generally used as a primary study for the diseases of salivary gland, thyroid gland, and cervical lymph node in the head and neck area. FNAB has a small number of contraindications and complications, but most of the complications are minor complications. However, uncommon complications had been reported in the literature. In this report, we describe a 63 yearold woman who experienced dyspnea caused by diffuse intracapsular hemorrhage of thyroid gland after FNAB.
