Squamous differentiation (a bad prognostic sign regardless of its %) in a Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma can be tricky to identify on Giemsa stain. Syncytia formations, cytoplasmic opacity, nucleolar prominence and suggestion of cell junctions are the typical clues. (EUS-FNA)

CLINGING and nestled together in an EBUS FNA of Lung- Neuroendocrine cells or Basaloid Squamous cells - IHCs and follow-up confirmed a “Large Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma”.

PSAMMOMA bodies (although quite specific when combined with cytomorphology) are rarely seen on FNA smears of “Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma”. This completely intact one is the best that I have seen over the years.

Fine needle aspiration of a neck lymph node. What is the diagnosis? Answer: buff.ly/4brPydF #PathArt #PathTwitter #Cytopath #Pathology

“Happy New Year” (AI-generated for Pathology)

Beautiful cytomorphology of “Meningioma”, presenting as a parapharyngeal mass. (FNA)

I always find Salivary Gland Pleomorphic Adenoma stained with Diff Quik to be most photogenic. Here, a fragment of myxoid matrix is surrounded by myoepithelial cells. (Parotid FNA)

CLASSIC cytomorphological appearance of “Small Cell Carcinoma” metastasis to pleural effusion. Although an uncommon occurrence, it seldom appears as single cells (as in FNAs). The well-formed hyperchromatic morules display extremely tight molding. (Lung primary, Cytospin prep)

CMV infection of the lung is a serious event with significant morbidity and mortality in patients who are status post lung transplant. This bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) shows multiple cells with the characteristic viral cytopathic effect/nuclear inclusions of CMV.
