Non-gynaecological Cytology
Thyroid cytology
 

 

This lower power view of a Papanicolaou stained microbiopsy still identifies sheets of monolayered uniform thyroid cells which elsewhere showed suspicious nuclear features. You may note the more disordered architecture with nuclear overlapping in the upper left corner of the fragment. This low power finding should prompt an accurate screening of the slides for confirmation of suspicious features, this architectural feature alone being insufficient for diagnosis of suspicion.
