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.
