A rapid alcohol-fixed Diff-Quik stain is described. The technique takes less than five minutes and results in excellent cytologic detail, comparable to that with Papanicolaou stain, as well as superb stromal definition. The stain should be very useful to pathologists and cytotechnologists for immediate interpretation of fine needle aspiration specimens.
