A Benign Lesion of Thyroid Masquerading as a Salivary Gland Malignancy on Cytology
Benign lesions of thyroid can sometime mimic adenoid cystic carcinomas of salivary glands. Misdiagnosing any such case based solely on morphology can lead to wrong prognostication and thus wrong treatment. Extensive review of literature and a second consultation with an experienced pathologist should be done. Whenever needed a cell block preparation and a complete immunohistochemistry panel should be performed.
