Abstract
Fine needle aspiration biopsy(FNAB) has been used for many decades in the diagnosis of benign and mal-ignant tumors of thyroid gland. Complications of thyroid fine-needle aspiration biopsy(FNAB) are extremely rare. Hematoma formation is the most commonly encountered complication. However, massive intrathyroid uni-lateral hemorrhage and hematoma formation inducing upper airway distress rarely occurs. Here, we report two cases diagnosed as having hematoma that caused upper airway distress after FNAB for thyroid nodule.
Key Words: Fine needle aspiration biopsy(FNAB), Airway distress, Hematoma
