A, the smear preparation from malignant ascites (Case 6) contains approximately 2 × 105 metastatic carcinoma cells from serous ovarian carcinoma (May-Grünwald-Giemsa; MGG). B, pleural effusion specimen from malignant mesothelioma (Case 15) demonstrates numerous malignant cells intermingled with some histiocytes (MGG). C, fine needle aspiration smear from mucinous breast carcinoma (Case 9) composed almost exclusively of carcinoma cells embedded in epithelial mucin (MGG). D, in the corresponding tissue section, the carcinoma cells are surrounded by nonneoplastic stroma cells.
