The cell block preparation, which increases cellular yield by capturing any small tissue fragments in a fluid specimen, has been used to define the histologic pattern of the cells in question. This report describes a case in which processing a cell block on residual ThinPrep® Pap Test™ material, using a thrombin‐based technique, was useful in augmenting the diagnosis of a glandular lesion.
