Non-gynaecological Cytology
Head and neck cytology
Salivary gland cyst
There is cystic, usually thick fluid, often containing crystalloids, with signs of osmotic damage on the epithelial elements. The sample may be very poorly cellular. There is a dirty necrotic background. Large, possibly hexagonic crystals may be seen. In case of inflammation, atypical metaplastic squamous cell may be present.
