Abstract
Although present since historic times, cell blocks have still been on a back seat when it comes to diagnostics, despite having immense potential. Cell block preparations made from sedimented cells can be a useful adjunct to routine cytological methods. We, thus, present a case of a 76-year-old female who would have not been treated on time, if a cell block hadn’t been attempted.
