Abstract

ABSTRACT We report the first documented case of adenocarcinoma cell growth on routine microbiological media. Pleural fluid culture from an 82-year-old female showed colonies with fried egg appearance on routine microbiological media that were negative for bacterial microorganisms. Stains of the colonies demonstrated clusters of viable neoplastic cells.
