Cytologic findings. (A) Microscopic image of pancreatitis with mature exocrine pancreatic cells in the upper left, accompanied by red blood cells and increased numbers of nondegenerate neutrophils in a coarsely granular proteinaceous background (500×, Wright Giemsa Stain, image provided by Francisco O. Conrado). (B) Microscopic image of pancreatitis containing mineralized material (hyperchromatic purple refractile material), red blood cells, neutrophils, and scattered vacuolated macrophages that likely contain lipid from fat degradation. The background also contains purple granular material consistent with lubricant ultrasound coupling gel (400×, Wright Giemsa Stain, image provided by Francisco O. Conrado)
