Simple thyroid cysts are rare, with this case presenting clear, acellular fluid via fine needle aspiration puncture (FNAP). This diagnostic and therapeutic procedure identified a rapidly growing, cold thyroid nodule in a 33-year-old female.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Cytopathology

Background:

  • Simple or true thyroid cysts are exceptionally uncommon in clinical practice.
  • Thyroid nodules are common, but cystic presentations require careful evaluation.
  • Fine needle aspiration puncture (FNAP) is a key diagnostic tool for thyroid lesions.

Observation:

  • A 33-year-old female presented with a rapidly enlarging thyroid nodule.
  • Thyroid scintigraphy indicated a non-functioning ('cold') nodule.
  • Ultrasonography revealed a cystic lesion within the thyroid gland.

Findings:

  • The fine needle aspiration puncture (FNAP) yielded colorless, acellular, transparent fluid.
  • The FNAP was both diagnostic, identifying the cyst's nature, and therapeutic, reducing the nodule size.

  • This case represents a rare instance of a simple thyroid cyst.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic utility of FNAP in rare thyroid cystic lesions.
    • Emphasizes the importance of considering simple cysts in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules.
    • Contributes to the limited literature on the characteristics and management of true thyroid cysts.
