| Abstract: | Anaplastic carcinoma of the thyroid (ACT) is a rare subtype of thyroid neoplasm. This tumor represents approximately 5–10% of all thyroid malignancies and its poor prognosis has not changed in 25 years. ACT often arises in a long‐standing thyroid nodule and has been documented to be associated with a variety of more well‐differentiated thyroid carcinomas. We describe the cytologic features of a case in which the patient had a 10‐yr history of a thyroid nodule. The ACT in this case had a cytologic and histologic appearance of several different subtypes of thyroid carcinomas. Diagn Cytopathol 1994;11:60–63. © 1994 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
