Abstract
Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma [ATC] is one of the most aggressive of all human malignant diseases. It is a rare tumour accounting for 1% to 2% of all thyroid carcinomas. As the tumour presents at very advanced stage ATC is frequently resection is not possible. Rapid and accurate pretreatment diagnosis is required to attempt local-regional control and provide an earely palliative treatment to patient. Here we present a case of anaplastic carcinoma of thyroid diagnosed on cytology where radiological findings were misleading. Thus emphasises importance of FNAC in early and initial diagnosis of tumour,which can have impact on treatment received by patient.
