M. Vasundhara

Abstract :

 Giant Cell carcinoma is a variant of Sarcomatoid carcinoma which occurs at an younger age and predominantly in smoker males. Metastasis and wide spread extension is common by the time of diagnosis and is associated with a poor outcome. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has a great role in diagnosing Giant cell carcinoma which does not need surgical excision and early diagnosis by FNAC will greatly influence of the survival rate as treatment can be started immediately. We report a case of Giant Cell Carcinoma diagnosed by FNAC in a 31yrs male who presented with anterior chest wall mass withrib destruction and ain metastasis.
