CytologicallyYoursCoW20131216Cytology1.jpg|4x magnification of ~~a 4R lymph node~~. Groups of cohesive epithelial appearing cells ~~can be~~ seen on low power~~. Lymphoid tissue is not easily identified~~.

CytologicallyYoursCoW20131216Cytology1.jpg|10x magnification of pleural fluid(ThinPrep). Groups of cohesive epithelial appearing cells are seen on low power.

CytologicallyYoursCoW20131216Cytology2.jpg|~~20x~~ magnification of ~~a 4R lymph node~~. ~~This is a cellular specimen with groups~~ of cells ~~along what appear to be a papillary or papillary-like structure. Single cells are also dispersed in the background. The cells are haphazardly arranged~~.

CytologicallyYoursCoW20131216Cytology2.jpg|40x magnification of pleural fluid (ThinPrep). Cluster of atypical cells showing nuclear pleomorphism and scant cytoplasm.

CytologicallyYoursCoW20131216Cytology3.jpg|40x magnification of ~~a 4R lymph node~~. ~~On higher power, the nuclei appear mildly atypical~~ and ~~the cytoplasm is delicate~~ and ~~finely vacuolated. The nuclear contours are somewhat irregular~~.

CytologicallyYoursCoW20131216Cytology3.jpg|40x magnification of pleural fluid (ThinPrep). Chromatin is irregular and clumped with salt and pepper appearance.

CytologicallyYoursCoW20131216Cytology4.jpg|~~Cell block~~ of ~~4R lymph node~~. ~~The cytoplasm does not appear as vacuolated on alcohol fixed cell block material, but the nuclei are relatively uniform, but somewhat atypical~~.

CytologicallyYoursCoW20131216Cytology4.jpg|40x magnification of pleural fluid (ThinPrep). Some nuclear molding can be appreciated.

CytologicallyYoursCoW20131216Cytology5.jpg|Cell block of ~~4R lymph node~~. ~~The~~ cytoplasm ~~does not appear as vacuolated on alcohol fixed cell block material~~, ~~but the nuclei are relatively uniform, but somewhat atypical~~.
