Abstract:
Fine needle biopsy of nodules on the thyroid is simple diagnostic method and it is generally a safe procedure. The main side effect is pain and hematoma. Secondary hemangioma development after biopsy is extremely rare. A 63-year-old woman presented with a 5-year history of solitary erythematous papule on neck. Spontaneous bleeding recorded six times within 5 years. There is not vascular anastomosis in ultrasonographic imaging. A histopathologic study showed vessel-like arteriole around small veins in dermis. No arteriovenous hemangioma case has been previously reported to be related to fine needle biopsy. Our case showed possibilities of arteriovenous hemangioma developments after fine needle biopsy.
