Abstract
Background: Fine needle aspiration is widely recognized as an important test in the evaluation of thyroid nodules. Complications of the procedure are uncommon with partial or incomplete infarction of the thyroid neoplasm being rare. Amongst the thyroid neoplasm, Hurtle cell neoplasms are more prone to such infarctions. Case Report: We report a case of Hurthle cell neoplasm which had undergone an infarction post fine needle aspiration. Conclusion: An infarcted nodule in thyroidectomy specimen should induce the histopathologist to look carefully for detailed morphologic features.
