Abstract
Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is an important tool in the investigation of thyroid nodules and has few reported complications. We present the first report of recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy arising as a complication of thyroid nodule FNAC. This complication led to inaccurate diagnosis and unnecessarily radical surgery, with consequent increased morbidity.Entities:
