Fine needle aspiration (FNA) dates back to the 1930s when Martin and Ellis first described the procedure and its potential implications in the medical field. Over time the role of ultrasound-guided FNA evolved as an important tool in assessing thyroid nodules. This activity describes and outlines fine-needle aspiration of a thyroid nodule with ultrasound guidance. It also reviews the role of proper technique in the successful acquisition of thyroid cells for cytopathologic review.
