Abstract
Thyroid nodules are very common in the clinical practice. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is a major method for the diagnosis of thyroid nodules. This review tried to cover the definition, current status, clinical significance, indications, contraindications, ultrasound evaluation, as well as preparations, steps, molecular diagnosis, cytology diagnosis, and possible pitfalls of this technique. Our purpose is trying to make this procedure universalized and standardized in order to serve more patients by providing clinicians with some helpful references and advices.

期刊介绍:
The Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism was founded in July 1985. It is a senior academic journal in the field of endocrinology and metabolism sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association. The journal aims to be the "Chinese broadcaster of new knowledge on endocrinology and metabolism worldwide". It reports leading scientific research results and clinical diagnosis and treatment experience in endocrinology and metabolism and related fields, as well as basic theoretical research that has a guiding role in endocrinology and metabolism clinics and is closely integrated with clinics. The journal is a core journal of Chinese science and technology (a statistical source journal of Chinese science and technology papers), and is included in Chinese and foreign statistical source journal databases such as the Chinese Science and Technology Papers and Citation Database, Chemical Abstracts, and Scopus.
