Figure 1: (a) Cat I – Single cluster of follicular cells in backdrop of abundant colloid (PAP, ×100). (b) Cat II-Colloid goiter with cystic changes (PAP, ×400). (c) Cat II – Hyperplastic goiter showing fire-flare appearance (PAP, ×400). (d) Cat III – Macrofollicular and microfollicular pattern with colloid-FLUS (PAP, ×100). (e) Cat III – papillary configuration lacking nuclear features in a background of lymphocytic thyroiditis (PAP, ×100). (f) Cat III – Paucicellular smear with papillary as well as follicular arrangement lacking nuclear features of papillary carcinoma (PAP, ×400). (g) Cat III – Papillary arrangement with cyst macrophages mimicking papillary hyperplasia (PAP, ×100)
