Asset Details

  • Description:
  • (A‐C) This mediastinal lymph node fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) (patient 10, sample 11) was originally diagnosed as poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma. (A) A ThinPrep slide shows blast‐like cells with distinct nucleoli and smaller, benign background lymphocytes (Papanicolaou stain, original magnification ×600). (B) The corresponding cell block shows a compact, squamoid morule highlighted by nuclear β‐catenin stain (inset). (C) A corresponding pancreatic resection shows large sheets of monotonous, small, round‐to‐elongated blue cells with diffuse nuclear β‐catenin staining (inset) and immature, hypercellular stroma (H&E stain, original magnification ×200). (D) A pancreatic FNA biopsy from case 1 that was misdiagnosed as neuroendocrine neoplasm shows spindled‐to‐oval, small, round cells with nuclear molding resembling small‐cell carcinoma (Papanicolaou stain, original magnification ×200). (E) A 2‐cell population of smaller blast‐like cells is shown along with a single squamoid cell (arrow) with abundant, dense cytoplasm and a large nucleus (Diff‐Quik stain, original magnification ×200). (F‐I) Squamoid morules ranged from (F) ill‐defined, pale‐pink clusters (Diff‐Quik stain, original magnification ×200) to (G) tight, whorled units of epithelioid cells with pale cytoplasm and syncytial arrangement (Papanicolaou stain, original magnification ×200). (H) A corresponding cell block and (I) pancreatic resection show similar tight, eosinophilic, squamoid morules surrounded by monotonous, blast‐like blue cells with intervening cellular stroma (H&E stain, original magnification ×200).
