Patients with thyroid incidentaloma underwent ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy

ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Fine needle aspiration (FNA)with cytologic analysis has become a mainstay of thyroid nodule evaluation was used. Nonpalpable nodules were aspirated under ultrasound guidance to facilitate precise targeting of the nodule and to sample the part most likely to improve diagnostic yield.
