leukemia disorder 1 Flashcards
absolute leukocyte counts >11.0x109
/L
Leukocytosis
absolute leukocyte counts <3.0x109
/L
leukopenia
the segmentation of neutrophil is greater
than 2-5 lobes
Hypersegmented neutrophil
Has a normal size 4-6 lobes in the nucleus found in the
stage of recovery from infection
polycyte
Larger than normal neutrophil and has 5-10 nuclear
lobes seen in pernicious anemia, the hypersegmented
neutrophils are one of the hallmark of this condition
macropolycyte
Atypical Lymphocyte also known as
Virocyte
Downey type cell
Turk Irritation cell
Atypical Lymphocyte can be seen in
HIVV
herpes simplex infections
infectious mononucleosis,
viral hepatitis,
viral pneumonia
Atypical Lymphocyte appearance
sunny side up
Swiss-cheese
Tunneled appearance
Moth-eaten
- myelobast that is characterized by having a nucleus with deep
indentions often suggesting lobulation
Rieder cell
Rieder cell seen in
acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
signs of degeneration in severe infections, chemical
poisoning and leukemia
cell has holes
Vacuolated cell
- net-like nucleus from a ruptured white cell specially a PMN
. Basket cell or Smudge cell
Basket cell or Smudge cell seen in
chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Lupus Erythematosus cell also known as
Hargraves
PMN which had engulfed the nuclear material of another PMN
or a lymphocyte
Lupus Erythematosus
Monocyte with an engulfed nucleus usually of a lymphocyte
or maybe the whole lymphocyte itself
Tart Cell
- exhibits nucleophagocytosis
Tart Cell
lymphocyte with hair like cytoplasmic projection surrounding
the nucleus
Hairy cell
rough lymph cell with nucleus that is grooved or convulated
. Sezary Cell
. Sezary Cell seen in
Sezary syndrome and mycosis fungoides
ABNORMAL INCLUSION BODIES IN LEUKOCYTES
Dohle - Amato Bodies
Auer bodies/rods
Toxic granules
Russel or Fush’s Bodies
Snapper-Scheid Bodies
are linear or spindle-shaped red-purple inclusions in
myeloblasts and monoblasts
caused by unusual
development of lysozomes
Auer bodies/rods
dark blue to purple cytoplasmic granules in the
metamyelocyte, band or in neutrophil stage
. Toxic granules
stain blue-gray usually seen in the periphery of the cytoplasm
of neutrophils
Dohle - Amato Bodies
characteristics of bacterial infections and are frequently seen
in aplastic anemia and also in myelosclerosis
. Toxic granules
- remnants of free ribosomes from an earlier stage of
development
Dohle - Amato Bodies
