Figure 1:
Direct smears of TB-FNA were hypocellular with predominance of cellular debris (a and b) with a few apical fragments of lining cells. These cell fragments demonstrated diagnostic features as seen in zoomed images (arrows) (a1 through a8 and b1 through b8). (a and a1 through a8: Papanicolaou stain; b and b1 through b8: Diff-Quik stain).
