Rarely, papillary thyroid carcinoma spreads to bones; however, anterior chest wall (sternal and clavicular) involvement are rare. A 54-year-old man with long-standing (~25 years) multinodular goitre presented with recent-onset rap...

Objective. This was a comparative study between FNAC and thyroid scan used to diagnose the solitary thyroid nodule and histopathology was used as gold standard to compare the results of both modalities.
