title: Coexistent Papillary Carcinoma of Thyroid and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis - Diagnosis on Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology.
abstract: Hashimoto's thyroiditis is associated with an increased risk of developing papillary carcinoma of thyroid. We hereby report a case of Hashimoto's thyroiditis with papillary carcinoma in a 45-year-old ear old female diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) which was later confirmed on histopathological examination .Such an occurrence, when both lesions are picked up on FNAC in a patient with no palpable thyroid nodule is rare. The case is presented here for its rarity.
