Lymph
node FNA, Ziehl-Neelsen staining
Presence of many
acid-fast bacilli, both intra- and extra-cellular ones, explains the "negative"
image (pseudo-Gaucher cells) seen on the M-G-G stained smears. The
culture was positive for M. tuberculosis. (The patient was taking
oral corticoids for a dermatological condition).
