Cell clusters with irregular shape

Occasional spindle cells

Scattered single cells

Intratumoral neutrophilic infiltration

Intracytoplasmic eosinophilic materials

Multinucleated giant cells

Cells with vacuolated cytoplasm

Cytologic findings Cell clusters with irregular shape Occasional spindle cells and scattered single cells Severe pleomorphism Enlarged nuclei and macronucleoli Intracytoplasmic eosinophilic materials and vacuolization Intratumoral neutrophilic infiltration

Differential diagnoses Metastasis from thyroid gland Metastasis from other organs ( and metastasis to thyroid gland)

Differential diagnoses Metastasis from thyroid gland Metastasis from other organs ( and metastasis to thyroid gland)

Thyroid gland –Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma Single huge neck mass Rapidly enlarging and very symptomatic neck mass Extensive local invasion beyond the thyroid gland

Differential diagnosis Metastasis from thyroid gland Metastasis from other organs ( and metastasis to thyroid gland)

Metastasis to thyroid gland –Kidney > Colon, Lung, Breast > Malignant melanoma

Malignant melanoma –Large cell with abundant cytoplasm –Round eccentric nuclei with prominent nucleoli –Multinucleation and variable degrees of vacuolization –Presents singly and in clusters –Cell-in-cell engulfment –Cytoplasmic melanin –Intracytoplasmic eosinophilic materials? –Intratumoral neutrophilic infiltration?

Pulmonary non-small cell carcinoma –Extreme pleomorphism –Tumor giant cell morphology –Extreme vacuolization –Intratumoral neutrophilic infiltration –Mucin? –Cell ball –Perinucleolar chromatin clearing

Renal cell carcinoma, high grade –Large cells with abundant clear or eosinophilic granular or vacuolated cytoplasm –Prominent nucleoli : round central (single or multiple), brightly eosinophilic –Magenta-staining basement membrane-like materials –Intratumoral neutrophilic infiltration

Diagnosis Lymph node (left neck), fine needle aspiration biopsy: - Metastatic poorly differentiated carcinoma, favor kidney or lung origin.
