Anaplastic carcinoma of thyroid are highly aggressive and lethal tumors and carries a dismal prognosis.we report a case of anaplastic carcinoma of thyroid in a 53 year old male patient with simultaneous lung and small bowel metastasis presented as small bowel perforation in a short span of time leaving us bewildered. We are presenting this case because we were unable to find a report of simultaneous metastases of anaplastic carcinoma of thyroid to lung and small bowel in English literature. We also made an effort to review the literature of aetiopathogenesis and management of anaplastic carcinoma of thyroid.
