Abstract:
Occasionally patients with thyroid nodules to be evaluated by fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy also present with regional cervical lymphadenopathy. Aspiration biopsies should be performed on both the thyroid and nodal lesions. This approach will yield important information about whether the lesions are related, with profound impact on further workup, management, prognosis, and staging.
