Pericellular lacunae in the diagnosis of metastatic carcinoma in effusions: is this a useful sign?

abstract：:Tuberculosis is one of the oldest diseases known to affect humans and is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Lymph nodes are the most common site of extrapulmonary involvement. Tuberculous lymphadenitis can be presumptively diagnosed morphologically on fine-needle aspiration biopsy of lymph nodes. Additional tests l...
