These diseases have distinct cytological morphology and thus FNAC is done frequently. Here we report a case of adenomatoid goitre mimicking adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of salivary gland on cytology. Such close resemblance on morphology makes this a case of unusual morphological presentation of a very common condition.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Case Summary<\/jats:title><jats:p>We report here a case of a 60\u2010year\u2010old female who developed a right anterior neck swelling six years back. Systemic clinical findings were unremarkable. Routine laboratory investigations, including thyroid function test were within normal limits. A High\u2010resolution ultrasound of neck was performed, and a TIRADS\u2010IV lesion measuring 28.8\u2009\u00d7\u200922.9\u2009mm was reported. Fine needle aspiration was done. Seven smears were made and stained with MGG, H&amp;E and PAP stains. Smears were moderately cellular and abundant globular, amorphous material was observed with lesional cells forming three\u2010dimensional rosette\u2010like structures around them, producing an ACC\u2010like pattern. A second consultation and immunohistochemistry on cell block we performed which led to a diagnosis of adenomatoid goitre, confirmed later histologically.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>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.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/dc.25436","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,25]],"date-time":"2024-12-25T22:39:46Z","timestamp":1735166386000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Benign Lesion of Thyroid Masquerading as a Salivary Gland Malignancy on Cytology"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"53","author":[{"given":"Shivansh","family":"Dixit","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences  Lucknow Uttar Pradesh India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9390-9170","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pooja","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences  Lucknow Uttar Pradesh India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7223-017X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anurag","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences  Lucknow Uttar Pradesh India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6293-5296","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nidhi","family":"Anand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences  Lucknow Uttar Pradesh India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mallika","family":"Dhanda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences  Lucknow Uttar Pradesh India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2015\/826436"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1309\/NKED4TJXUENR21M2"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/dc.10415"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0970-2113.68330"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3892\/mco.2016.931"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.radcr.2024.08.085"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12022-011-9174-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/dc.20063"},{"issue":"5","key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","first-page":"740","article-title":"Follicular Carcinoma of the Thyroid With an Adenoid Cystic Pattern.
