Irregular thickening of the interlobular septae may be seen in pulmonary fibrosis but this rather constitutes an ancillary finding instead of the predominant pattern.
An ancillary finding was that suprathreshold activation of ACC by loss outcomes (as a contrast with avoided losses) was present in adults but not adolescents.
An unexpected ancillary finding was the existence of a microdomain under the host cell membrane with reduced calcein quenching by hemoglobin in cells with mature trophozoite stage parasites.
Careful scrutiny of cyst shape and size, as well as for the presence of any ancillary findings, may help refine the differential diagnosis.
Key findings for the diagnosis of sarcoidosis are the more typical findings of sarcoidosis that may coexist as ancillary findings, i.e. the micronodules along all aspects of interstitium, the beading of the fissures and the lymphadenopathy.
The directions of lying-down nystagmus (LDN) and head-bending nystagmus (HBN) have been used as ancillary findings to identify the affected sites.
Key findings in the differential diagnosis that favour LIP is the association with other ancillary findings such as diffuse or patchy areas of ground-glass opacity, ill-defined centrilobular nodules and thickening of the bronchovascular bundles.
As already mentioned previously, rarely pancreatic adenocarcinomas can be isoattenuating and difficult to detect, and one must rely on the ancillary findings such as bile duct or pancreatic duct obstruction to suspect the presence of a neoplasm.
Our findings are also consistent with KIF17 functioning as an ancillary motor supporting ciliary cargo delivery.
