Fine needle aspiration biopsy in diagnosis of metastases to thyroid gland

T W Lennard et al. J R Soc Med. 1984 Mar.

Abstract

Three cases of metastasis to the thyroid gland are reported, in each of which fine needle aspiration biopsy confirmed the diagnosis and obviated the need for surgery. Fine needle aspiration biopsy is able to confirm suspected intrathyroid metastasis and can be performed as an outpatient or bedside procedure.
