Comparison of automated and cytologic results from (A, C, D) thoracic fluid containing carcinoma cells and (B, E, F) pericardial fluid with reactive mesothelial cells from dogs. The cells are morphologically similar in both cases. The reactive mesothelial cells occasionally contain intracellular hematoidin crystals. (C, E) TNCC‐DIFF scattergrams contain a dispersed cell population close to the neutrophil region and scattered cells extending to the top of the scattergram, characteristic of neoplastic effusions. Both samples contain a large number of neutrophils (see Figure 1A), consistent with the high number of neutrophils seen in the cytologic samples. (D, F) TNCC‐BASO scattergrams have a pattern consistent with neoplastic effusions of epithelial or mesothelial origin (see Figure 2E). May‐Grünwald–Giemsa, bar=25 m. TNCC, total nucleated cell count.
