1. Immunophenotyping
2. Special stains- Mucicarmine, Congo red, organism stains
3. Architectural evaluation-
Trabecular-sinusoidal pattern in HCC,
Hollow or solid proliferation spheres without cores
in carcinoma versus mesothelioma in effusions
Evaluate for invasion
Comparative evaluation with surgical pathology material
E.g- Peritoneal/pelvic washing
Quantification of some features such as mitotic figures
4. Enhanced sampling of FNAB rinses
5. Molecular test
e.g. FISH, CISH, In-situ PCR
6. Archival for future studies

Calretinin immunoreactivity pattern (epithelioid mesothelioma, pleural fluid).
Mesothelioma cells (arrow in a) show nuclear (arrowhead 1) immunoreactivity usually with
cytoplasmic immunostaining (arrowhead 2) imparting the so called „fried-egg‟ appearance.
