Cervical tuberculosis detection in Papanicolaou-stained smear: case report with review of literature.

abstract：:Nuclear grooves have been described as a cytologic feature in a variety of extrathyroid lesions. When a cytologic specimen demonstrates prominent longitudinal nuclear grooving, a wide range of pathologic lesions should be considered. To our knowledge, the two cases presented are the first report of longitudinal nuclea...
