Abstract

Fine needle aspiration cytology is cheap, non invasive and time saving procedure in diagnosis and management of patients in developing countries. Metastasis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to distant sites and organs at time of presentation is not infrequently encountered in the setting of FNAC for initial diagnosis. Here, we present a case of metastatic RCC to right clavicle initially diagnosed on FNAC and was confirmed on radiological examination of abdomen and histopathological examination. DOI: 10.21276/APALM.1121
