CONCLUSION:
Some of the commonly prevalent malignancies may rarely metastasize to
aberrant locations in the body. Thyroid is an uncommon site for
metastatic squamous cell carcinoma and so is skeletal muscle for
metastatic adenocarcinoma. These cases highlight the need for an
awareness of the possibility of potential metastatic deposits in
unexpected sites. As a cytopathologist, we must exercise clinical acumen
with detailed clinical history before rushing to any diagnosis. Keeping
the vision broad and awareness high can benefit the patient and the
treating physician in getting quick and precise diagnosis for planning
further course of treatment through a cost effective procedure of fine
needle aspiration.
