Adenocarcinoma in bronchial washings typically shows three-dimensional cell clusters with a glandular or acinar pattern, often described as 'honeycomb' sheets. The cells have moderate amounts of vacuolated or foamy cytoplasm, round to oval nuclei with fine chromatin, and prominent nucleoli. Nuclei may be eccentric, giving a signet-ring appearance in some cases. Mucin production may be evident. These features help distinguish adenocarcinoma from squamous cell carcinoma (which has denser cytoplasm and pyknotic nuclei) and small cell carcinoma (which has scant cytoplasm and nuclear molding).
