The "fine needle aspiration" (FNA) can be done in the doctor's office. An anesthetic is not usually given. The patient will be asked to lie on his or her back. A pillow will be placed under the shoulders and the neck will be extended.

The biopsy site will be thoroughly cleansed and the physician will inject a local anesthetic. A small incision (about 1 inch) will be made in the skin. The biopsy needle will be inserted through the incision into the thyroid.

An endotracheal tube will be inserted through the mouth into the lungs for administering anesthetic gases. After the patient is anesthetized, a small incision is made in the neck. Either the whole thyroid or a part of it is removed.
