Different cell population on the same smear
Papillary cancers - Case 6

Benign appearing cells in the upper part while a suspicious papillary group in the lower part of the image.

Left suspicious, right benign cell cluster.
 
Papillary cancers - Case 66

Two cell populations are demonstrated. Firstly, small pycnotic nuclei which predominate the smear. Secondly, there are a few enlarged atypical cells with abundant cytoplasm and prominent nucleoli.
 
Papillary cancers - Case 18


The nuclear details of the papillary cluster is difficult to judge because the nuclei are pycnotic, but this papillary cluster corresponds to a hyperplastic one because of relatively sharp edges an peripheral vacuolization.


These monolayered sheets are composed of suspicious cells because of the presence of intranuclear inclusions.
