Atlas Interpretation:
Type of Preparation:
Conventional
Magnification:
High
Interpretation:
Squamous cell carcinoma
Cytomorphologic Criteria:
Cells on the left with scant cytoplasm display nuclei with irregularly distributed, coarsely granular chromatin and prominent nucleoli. On the right, lysed blood and a stripped nucleus, tumor diathesis, is evident.
Explanatory Notes:
Invasive carcinoma with prominent nucleoli may suggest adenocarcinoma; however, in this case centrally located nuclei and flat arrangement of cells is consistent with squamous cell carcinoma.
