Needle Tract Seeding Following Percutaneous Biopsy of Pediatric Head and Neck Sarcoma: A Case Report
Clinical Case Reports via PubMed
This case report demonstrates the possibility of sarcoma biopsy needle track seeding from FNA/Core Needle Biopsy during the workup of a pediatric head and neck mass. Though not currently widely practiced in head and neck tumors, surgeons may consider placing biopsy tracks in the area of planned resection for suspected head and neck malignancies as is more common in approaches to extremity sarcoma.

Factors Responsible for Non-Diagnostic Cytology on Ultrasound-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration of Thyroid Nodules
Cureous via PubMed
Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is a well-recognized procedure for the diagnosis of thyroid nodules, with the advantage of being safe and inexpensive. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is mainly performed for nodules showing suspicious sonographic features that may require thyroidectomy. Even when FNAC is performed under sonographic guidance, the cytological specimen obtained may be inadequate, leading to a non-diagnostic outcome. The aim of this study is to determine the sonographic and technical factors influencing the outcome of FNAC.
