PAPILLARY ENDOTHELIAL HYPERPLASIA IN THE THYROID FOLLOWING FINE-NEEDLE ASPIRATION ARCHIVES OF PATHOLOGY & LABORATORY MEDICINE Axiotis, C. A., MERINO, M. J., Ain, K., NORTON, J. A. 1991; 115 (3): 240-242

Abstract

A 74-year-old woman was found to have exuberant papillary endothelial hyperplasia within her thyroid gland subsequent to multiple fine-needle aspiration biopsies of a Hürthle cell neoplasm. To our knowledge, this histologic alteration in the thyroid has not been previously reported. We describe this unusual complication following fine-needle aspiration, and we delineate the clinicopathologic and differential diagnostic features.
