Figure 3. Cytologic findings. (A) Hurthle cells exhibit enlarged, round, and central or eccentrically located nuclei with distinct nucleoli and abundant, finely granular, green or red cytoplasm (× 400, Papanicolaou stain). (B) The aspirate showed Hurthle cells arranged in loose clusters. Colloid was absent, and a lymphocytic background was focally identified (× 100, Papanicolaou stain).
