Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Of the findings listed, only macrophages are a normal finding in serous fluids. Other normal cells are lymphocytes and mesothelial cells.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Both malignant and mesothelial cells can be found in clumps in serous fluids. Mesothelial cells are normal lining cells of body cavities that are shed into these cavities; they are a normal finding in serous fluids. They can be confused with malignant cells. However, when mesothelial cells appear in clumps (a frequent occurrence), usually windows are noted between the cells. This is not true of malignant cells that are also commonly found in clumps.
