  • Title: Needle tract implantation of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid following aspiration biopsy.
    Author: Hales MS, Hsu FS.
    Journal: Acta Cytol; 1990; 34(6):801-4. PubMed ID: 2256415.
    Abstract:
    A case is reported of a slow-growing papillary carcinoma of the thyroid that caused clinically apparent implantation along the tract of a fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy. This appears to be the first report of a cutaneous needle tract metastasis from a papillary thyroid carcinoma. It represents a highly unusual complication of an FNA biopsy of an indolent, slow-growing tumor.
