Cytomorphologic features occurring more frequently in TSDUT include tumor necrosis, dominant single-cell pattern, nuclear molding indistinct cell borders, and focal rhabdoid cells. Presence of these features in a cytology specimen of an undifferentiated tumor, particularly in a patient with a thoracic mass, should raise suspicion for TSDUT and prompt appropriate ancillary workup.
