Abstract
Ultrasound-guided thyroid FNAB is a safe procedure even under
antiplatelet drugs, such as clopidogrel. Although massive hematomas
after FNAB are very rare, they may be fatal and must be promptly
recognized and treated. Here, we present a well-resolved case of massive
bilateral hematoma after ultrasound-guided FNAB using compression and
ice.
