Common cytomorphologic characteristics of GAS in TP and SP cytology preparations. a, b Honeycomb-like sheets of glandular cells with increased nuclear size. Note the irregular spacing of the nuclei in gastric-type adenocarcinoma which is similar to the “drunken” arrangement known for pancreatobiliary carcinoma. c, d Microvesicular, foamy cytoplasm of the abnormal glandular cells (TP (a, c); SP (b, d); ×63, oil immersion). GAS, gastric-type endocervical adenocarcinoma; TP, ThinPrep®; SP, SurePath®.
