A rare case of synchronous metastatic lung adenocarcinoma to the thyroid gland, diagnosed on routine fine‐needle aspiration cytology, is described. The combined use of morphological features associated with immunocytochemical analysis on smeared specimens as well as on cell‐block material, is a feasible tool to achieve a definitive diagnosis and it also permits determination of the required biomarkers.
