摘要：
Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma is an infrequent, but aggressive fatal subtype of thyroid cancer. The osteoclastic variant of anaplastic carcinoma is a rare subtype of anaplastic carcinoma with rare cases reported in the literature. Molecular targeted therapies have emerged for the anaplastic carcinoma, necessitating accurate pathologic diagnosis with additional ancillary testing for directing clinical management. We present here the cytological diagnosis of an anaplastic thyroid carcinoma-osteoclastic variant on fine-needle aspiration (FNA), with emphasis on the novelty of utilizing the least invasive procedure (aspiration cytology) for rendering pathological diagnosis as well as identifying potential prognostic markers for targeted immunotherapy.
