[Emptying of goitre cysts by small-needle aspiration (author's transl)]. 1977

G Galvan, and H Maurer

Small-needle aspiration was practised up to 16 times (average 2.7 times) in 89 patients with cystic thyroid nodules. Re-examination 7 days to 22 months later showed that the nodule had disappeared or the amount of cystic fluid had decreased to 30% or less in 32 patients. All patients also received suppressive doses of thyroid hormones. It is suggested that additional injection of sclerosing fluid into the cyst may improve results further.
