The tumour is characterized by typical aggresive behaviour and unfavourableprognosis. We describe a case of this carcinoma in 69-year-old man. We present clinical andhistological features of this tumour. In addition, we present features of this tumour in fine-needleaspirates, which were described only in a few cases in literature so far.
