Acinar cells neoplasia

FNAC. Large cells with small basal nuclei arranged in alveolar aggregates and cytoplasm clear and vacuolized suggestive of acinar carcinoma. Histopathological verification is necessary (DiffQuick and Papanicolaou staining x100, x200, x100)

acinar neoplasia

Warthin’s tumor

Warthin’s tumor showing groups of uniform oncocytic epithelial cells with small nuclei, lymphocytes, normal acini and proteinaceous material in the background. (Papanicolaou, x200, x100)

Oncocytic neoplasia

Aggregates of cohesive oncocytic cells with small and regular nuclei suggestive of oncocytic neoplasia. (Papanicolaou, x100)
