Plasma cell , multiple myelome

The principal methods employed in hematological diagnosis

Orthochromatic normoblast

Cabot ring and Normoblast

54 year old female WBC 14.2 RBC 2.79 HGB 8.6 PLT 122 Numerous NRBC’s. (80 counted) CML with a large quantity of micromegakaryocytes (cells – 4A, B, C, D; 5A, B, C, D; 6A, B, C, D)

Diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma. The condition is an uncommon type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma that mostly affects older adults

ALL L3 burkitt lymphoma

Trypanosoma Gambiensis

Grey platelet syndrome (GPS) is a rare, congenital disorder which causes a bleeding disorder. The platelets are large and have a grey appearance on light microscopy. It is one of the macrothrombocytopenias, which are inherited thrombocytopenias with increased platelet size

Platelet morphology

Chédiak-Higashi syndrome. The granulocytes contain huge cytoplasmic granules formed from aggregation and fusion of azurophilic and specific granules. Large abnormal granules are found in other granule-containing cells throughout the body

Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia Dysplastic monocytes and Promonocytes

Morphology of small lymphoid cell neoplasms

Examples of lymphoid cell neoplasms of intermediate and large cell size

Plasmodium falciparum Gametocytes

Neutrophilic Cells. The images shows myelocyte (1), band neutrophils (2), two lobed neutrophil (3) and neutrophils (4)

neutrophilic myeloid precursors

There is a basophil in the center of the field which has a lobed nucleus (like PMN's) and numerous coarse, dark blue granules in the cytoplasm. They are infrequent in a normal peripheral blood smear, and their significance is uncertain. A band neutrophil is seen on the left, and a large, activated lymphocyte on the right.
