Differential diagnostic of cystic lesions - table 16
Before aspiration                                                           Differential diagnostic of thyroid cysts - case 1                                                 After aspiration

As we already mentioned, the type of a cystic lesion can be judged only after aspiration of cystic fluid. This nodule seemed to be a projecting type lesion before aspiration because the thin solid part was not visible all along the wall of the nodule while it came into sight after evacuation; therefore this nodule belongs to central cystic type.
