Needle track seeding of papillary thyroid carcinoma from fine needle aspiration biopsy. A case report.
Acta Cytol. 2002 May-Jun; (3): 591-5
Dissemination of tumor cells from needle biopsy has been observed in a wide range of tumor types. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy has become accepted as the first-line test in the evaluation of thyroid nodules. Local recurrence of thyroid cancer from needle track seeding is an extremely rare complication of thyroid FNA.
