Characteristic cytological properties - atypia and pleomorphism
Anaplastic cancer - Case 3


Polygonal cells are demonstrated. They are highly enlarged. Note the coarsely granular chromatin structure.

Anaplastic cancer - Case 6


Extremely atypical, pleomorphic tumor cells. Note a single cell necrosis in the left image which is a very rare but almost pathognomic finding of a thyroid carcinoma.
