Cardio/Heme Flashcards
Normal Bone Marrow
Aplastic anemia
Hypochromic, microcytic anemia
“Hair-on-end” new bone formation; beta-thalassemia major
Macrocytic, megaloblastic anemia (vitamin B12 or folate deficiency)
megaloblastic anemia (see hypersegmented neutrophil)
Sickle cell anemia (see sickled RBCs)
glucose 6 phosphate-dehydrogenase deficiency (see Heinz bodies and bite cells)
Hereditary spherocytosis
Pseudo-Pelger-Huet neutrophil (hyposegmented neutrophil; myelodysplastic syndrome)
Nucleated RBCs with myelocytes (myelodysplastic syndromes)
Ringed sideroblasts (myelodysplastic syndromes)
Bi-lobed Pelger-Huet cells with a blast (myelodysplastic syndromes)
Multiple myeloma, bone marrow aspirate (mostly mature-appearing plasma cells with eccentrically placed nuclei; prominent Golgi zones)
Mott Cell (intracellular accumulation of Ig in multiple myeloma bone marrow aspirate)
Flame cell (multiple myeloma, see fiery red cytoplasm)
Dutcher Bodies (nuclear globules, multiple myeloma)
Antibody monoclonal proliferation in multiple myeloma
Lytic bone lesions, multiple myeloma
Rouleaux formation, multiple myeloma
Auer rods, acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)
Abnormal hypercellular bone marrow in acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
promyelocytes in bone marrow and peripheral blood, acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL, and AML subtype)
Gingival hyperplasia, monocytic leukemia (AML subtype)
Leukemia cutis, monocytic leukemia (AML subtype)
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) peripheral blood evaluation (multiple “blasts” are shown)
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) bone marrow (packed with leukemic cells)
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) peripheral smear (numerous granulocytes at varying degrees of maturation)
