Figure Lengend Snippet: Examples of specimens collected with fine-needle aspiration ( A , B ) and fine-needle biopsy ( C , D ). ( A ) In a dirty, necrotic background, evaluable aggregates of adenocarcinoma cells can be recognized. ( B ) A fine-needle aspiration from a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor shows small cells with eccentric nuclei and coarse chromatin. ( C ) Strands of cells and tissue fragments of adenocarcinoma are intermingled with desmoplastic stroma. ( D ) Fragments of a neuroendocrine tumor, solid pattern. Ki-67 immunolabelling identifies the replicative cells that show brown nuclei.
