Glioblastoma multiforme with granular cell differentiation, intraoperative smear x 400. with arrow

Macrophages generally demonstrate more foamy cytoplasm, while granular cells demonstrate coarse eosinophilic granularity such as is seen here. The cytoplasm of a tumor cell is indicated by the unnecessarily large green arrow.
