A member asked:
What does it mean to find fungus in a thyroid biopsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thyroid biopsy: I guess it is conceivable that a disseminated fungal infection could involve the thyroid, but I would be more concerned that the sample was contaminated, or it was a lab error of some kind.
