B irregular nuclear membranes. A high nuclear size high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio. Cytologic atypia often includes more than one of the following features.
The follicular cells display some degree of nuclear crowding with mild nuclear enlargement occasional oval nuclei some cells exhibiting pale chromatin and an occasional nuclear groove without evidence of nuclear inclusions papanicolaou stain original magnification 400 1000. This case was categorized as atypical primarily because of nuclear features on cytology. Nuclear atypia included nuclear grooves nuclear inclusions or crowding or overlapping of nuclei but not nuclear.
After cytomorphological analysis of the 331 aus cases cases showing focal nuclear atypia with or without other features including microfollicular formation hürthle cell change or others were classified as aus na fig.
