A 75 year old male presented with a painful swelling in the left thigh. Fine needle aspiration biopsy performed revealed the presence of a Squamous cell carcinoma, prompting further evaluation. This led to the identification of an upper zone mass in the left lung which was excised; intra-operative squash cytology revealing the presence of a Squamous cell carcinoma. The patient then underwent a complete excision of the thigh swelling. Three months after the surgery, the patient died of a stroke. We report this case on account of its rarity and to highlight the role of intra-operative squash cytology in establishing the diagnosis of such lesions. JMS 2014;17(2):71-73
