Abstract

Review of the literature and the results of the hospital survey substantiate the widely held belief that fine-needle aspiration biopsy is a very safe procedure. However, serious and even fatal complications, although rare, can and do occur and it is important to be aware of the possibility and to take all the appropriate precautions in order to reduce their incidence.
