When you see Fried Egg appearance in USMLE exam think of the following:

• Mycoplasma Pneumoniae grew fried egg colonies in Eaton agar
  
• Oligodendroglioma giving rise to chickenwire pattern and fried egg appearance of cells because of perinuclear hallo
  
• Hairy cell leukemia with its hair like projections may give rise to fried egg appearance in bone marrow biopsy
  
• Seminoma with it's clear cytoplasm and round nuclei may also give rise to fried egg appearance under the microscope

Parietal cells of the stomach are also sometimes described as fried egg appearance as they are acidophilic with large central nuclei.
