The so-called “circle artifact” has been traditionally defined with GYN malignancies on a ThinPrep PAP test as a result of tumor diathesis and less often with extensive blood or inflammation. This voided urine had extensive acute inflammation with candidiasis.

Adenocarcinoma, presenting a sharp contrast with the juxtaposed benign squamous cells in a lower esophagus brushing. Prominent solitary macronucleoli, lack of adhered PMNs and a clean slide background with absence of inflammatory debris rules out reactive condition. (ThinPrep)

Couldn't be more excited to announce the launch of pathlibrary.com, the virtual slide site I wish had existed during my pathology residency. You can:
- Order special stains to work up cases
- See annotated histologic features
- Prepare for exams with board-style questions

Glands, Acini or Rosettes? Occasionally, the vague "tigroid" smear background helps. This pancreatic FNA with IHC help was diagnosed as "Acinar Cell Carcinoma". (EUS-FNA)

"NEVER forget the path of the traversing FNA needle". Liver mass in a 50/M with history of "Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor (PanNET)". The flat sheets of mesothelial cells present a beautiful and eye-catching contrast with the background metastatic PanNET.

NOT benign osteoblasts on FNA from a sclerotic spine lesion. Despite the innocuous appearance, these cells represent bone metastasis from the patient's known "Lobular Breast CA". (FNA)
