For example, in patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma, such as our patient 2, a predominance of basaloid cells seen on FNAC may be mistaken for thyroid follicular cells, and hyaline globules may have the appearance of ropy colloid, suggestive of papillary carcinoma, if cell morphology proves to be unrevealing but sufficient aspirate is available, ancillary studies such as immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, cytogenetics, and gene rearrangement often help classify the lesion. Small eosinophilic hyaline globules were noted in the cytoplasm. |
