Life-Threatening Neck Hematoma After Fine-Needle Aspiration of a Thyroid Nodule in a Patient With End-Stage Renal Disease

Key Points

• Neck hematoma developed immediately after fine-needle aspiration, requiring urgent intervention for airway protection.
• Patient with end-stage renal disease experienced vascular complications, highlighting increased risk during procedures.
• Case illustrates the need for cautious evaluation in patients with compromised kidney function undergoing thyroid interventions.
• Results indicate that standard procedures may entail significant risks, necessitating adjustments for vulnerable populations.
