Identification Flashcards

Hemophagocytosis

Dutcher Body- PAS positive stain appears intranuclear, actually cytoplasmic and invaginates nucleus in Waldenstroms and Myeloma

Bone Marrow Fibrosis

Pappenheimer Body- siderotic granule made of iron, often in clusters. Assoc. with splenectomy, hemolytic anemia, sideroblastic anemia, megaloblastic anemia, and hemoglobinopathies

Mott Cell- seen in Myeloma

Dohle Body

Dohle Body

Mott Cell (Grape Cell) seen in Myeloma

Hemophagocytosis

Flame Cell- Eosinophilc appearing plasma cell in Multiple Myeloma often in IgA secreting myeloma

Large Granular Lymphocyte- larger than resting lymphocyte w/ more cytoplasm and azurophilic granules. Either CD8 T cells or NK cells (CD56) and seen in viral infections and large granular lymphocytic leukemia

Chediak-Higashi Syndrome. AR disorder of abnormal lysosome trafficking leading to inclusions in leukocytes. Recurrent infections, partial albinism, and peripheral neuropathy

Idiopathic Hypereosinophilic Syndrome with BM showing expansion of mature eosinophils and eosinophilic myelocytes

Flame Cell. Plasma cells with distinctive pinkish hue thought to be precipitated immunoglobulin most likely IgA. Seen in Myeloma.

Microangiopathic Hemolytic Anemia. Note the schistocytes

Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis- the histiocyte nuclei are the more spongy ones. They are engulfing lymphoma cells.

Pseudothrombocytopenia- platelet clumping due to interaction of EDTA with Gp IIb/IIIa

Follicular Lymphoma- note the paratrabecular lymphoid aggregates

Smudge Cells of CLL

Cold Agglutinin Disease- often IgM or anti-C3
Recall: most hemolysis takes place in liver whereas warm AIHA takes place in spleen. Can be assoc. with Mycoplasma

Plasma Cells, likely Myeloma containing Snapper-Schneid granules

Dutcher Body- PAS + staining intranuclear inclusion

Pelger Huet Anomaly- bilobed neutrophil. If present in only some neuts it is pseudo-Pelger-Huet anomaly and indicative of MDS (dysmyelopoiesis)
