Deskripsi
Ultrasound guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is well-accepted in the evaluation of thyroid nodules. Though local pain and minor hematomas are the most common complications, other adverse events following FNA are rare. In this case report, we described a complication showing inflammation spreading in a healthy woman after FNA. We presented the case to make physicians aware of the potential complication.
