Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is the first-line and a cost-effective examination method of nonfunctional thyroid nodules. Acute transient thyroid swelling after an FNA is a rare complication, and to date, only 14 cases have been reported in the English literature. Herein, we report a case of a 26-year-old woman with acute transient thyroid swelling, which occurred after an ultrasound-guided FNA of a thyroid nodule. Although the patient had undergone an FNA without complication 2 years previously, the second FNA caused acute thyroid swelling. The present case emphasizes the potential risk of acute thyroid swelling associated with every FNA procedure.
细针穿刺抽吸术（FNA）是无功能性甲状腺结节的一线和具有成本效益的检查方法。FNA 后出现急性短暂性甲状腺肿胀是一种罕见的并发症，迄今为止，英文文献中仅报道了 14 例。在此，我们报告了一例 26 岁女性在超声引导下甲状腺结节 FNA 后发生的急性短暂性甲状腺肿胀。尽管该患者在 2 年前曾进行过无并发症的 FNA，但第二次 FNA 导致了急性甲状腺肿胀。本病例强调了与每次 FNA 操作相关的急性甲状腺肿胀的潜在风险。
