Ultrasound examination confirmed a 5.8 cm right mid pole thyroid nodule and multiple small lymph nodes in the neck, the largest one measuring 2.2 cm. A whole body CT did not reveal any other abnormalities. No significant past or family history was noted. An ultrasound-guided FNA of the right thyroid nodule was performed using 25-gauge needle.

The physical examination revealed a visibly ulcerated nodule that was tender to palpation. Superficial fine needle aspiration was performed without difficulty or complication.
