“Fried-egg” appearance
- Oligodendroglioma – “Fried-egg” appearance microscopy – Brain Tumor
- Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) might be identified by the presence of distinct cell membrane and abundant clear cytoplasm, resulting in a “fried-egg” appearance.
- Seminoma and Dysgerminoma cells on light microscopy.
- Parietal cells of the stomach due to acidophilic cytoplasm & large central nuclei also resemble fried egg appearance.
- Malassezia furfur – Malassezia furfur being lipophilic, SDA with olive oil overlay is the ideal media for culture. Typical ‘fried egg‘ colonies appear
- Mycoplasma pneumoniae – produces tiny colonies on Eaton agar that have an “inverted fried egg” appearance.
