Helpful information for anyone diagnosing pancreatic FNA.
Ductal cells at the edge of stromal fragments were seen in 93% of PDAC smears vs 7% of benign cases (93% sensitivity, 93% specificity).

Don't throw away FNA supernatants... they can be used for rapid molecular testing!
Would your lab consider testing supernatants?
