* | *Nest of hyperchromatic (i.e. blue) cells (similar in appearance to basal cells) with: | ||

**Artefactual separation of cells (forming the nests) from the underlying stroma. | |||
Notes: | Notes: | ||
*Palisading = the long axes of the cells are alined and the axes are perpendicular to the interface between the (basaloid cell) nests and stroma. | |||
