Figure 3.
Typical TNCC‐DIFF and TNCC‐BASO scattergrams in different types of effusions. All samples illustrated here had normal ΔTNC, HCT <10%, and TNCC >1000 cells/μL. (A) Chylous effusion. (B) Reactive or inflammatory effusion. (C) Round cell neoplasia. (D) Other neoplasia (carcinoma). The large cell populations in the lymphocyte and neutrophil regions of the TNCC‐DIFF scattergram are likely due to secondary inflammation. TNCC, total nucleated cell count; TNC, total nucleated cells.
