The Diff-Quik smears showed abundant thin colloid and moderate amount of follicular cells arranged in a honeycombed and syncytial pattern [Figure 1].
Case 1. Follicular cells with enlarged round to ovoid nuclei, focally overlapping nuclei, and nuclear grooves (Diff-Quik, x600)

Some of the follicular cells showed nuclear overlapping enlarged round to ovoid nuclei, small prominent nucleoli and few nuclear grooves [Figure 2].
