Imagine, If You Will...
- It's 4:30 on Friday

- Last cytology case

- A thyroid FNA from outside that did not have any on-site interpretation

- It is from a 45-year old woman with a "2.5 cm left thyroid nodule"

- You open the tray...there are 20 slides that all look bloody, you cannot grossly see any colloid and...there are very few dots from your screener


What You Have
- Blood, a lot

- 15-20 groups of follicular cells… no microfollicles, occasional sheets

- No nuclear features of papillary CA

- A little colloid, probably

- Some siderophages

What is your diagnosis?
