Abstract
The cell block preparation, which increases cellular yield by capturing any small tissue fragments in a fluid specimen, has been used to define the hi stologic pattern of the cells in question. This report describes a case in which processing a cell block on residual ThinPrep(R) Pap Test(TM) material , using a thrombin-based technique, was useful in augmenting the diagnosis of a glandular lesion.
