Background Our objective was to correlate cytomorphological features of metastatic non‐small cell lung carcinoma (mNSCLC) with maximal standardized uptake value (mSUV) of positron emission tomography (PET) in Lymph nodes (LNs). Methods Positive cytology slides of 114 LNs were reviewed from 100 patie...
