Possibly: If a solitary nodule can be palpated in the thyroid, is proven to be solitary on scan and is cold, there is a possibility it is an adenoma that has a 30% chance of converting. FNA does not always guarantee correct dx and if the needle hits the thyroid vessels it can result in a local hematoma intitiating the symptoms you have.
