GRANULOCYTE
WITH GRANULES THAT REACT TO BOTH ACID AND BASIC STAIN= PINK TO LAVANDER COLOR
NEUTROPHILS
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GRANULES AND STAINS ARE - PROPORTIONAL
INVERSELY
- CLASSIFICATION
NEUTROPHIL ARE CLASSIFIED ACC TO THEIR GRANULATION
SCHILLING’S
- CLASSIFICATION
NEUTROPHIL ARE CLASSIFIED ACC TO THEIR AGE, NUMBER OF LOBULATION/SEGMENTATION
ARNETH’S
NORMAL RANGE OF LOBULES
2-5
Categorized as monocyte and
lymphocytes
These cells have a non-segmented nuclei
but round ,oval, indented, or folded.
Agranulocytes / Mononuclear cells
WBC with phagocytic function(3)
- Monocyte
- neutrophils
- eosinophils
- basophils
(BMEN- boy and men)
WBC known as immune cells
/immunocytes
Lymphocytes (B and T cells)

DIRECTLY
Enlargement of the liver, spleen and lymph nodes may occur more predominantly in - LEUKEMIA
CHRONIC
Bone pain from a large
leukemia cell mass in the bone marrow is typical in the
- LEUKEMIA
ACUTE
Overproduction of various types of immature leukocytes in the
bone marrow and/ or peripheral blood
ACUTE LEUKEMIA
Overproduction of various types of mature leukocytes in the
bone marrow and/ or peripheral blood
CHRONIC LEUKEMIA
for malignancy that starts in the
lymph system, mainly the lymph nodes
LYMPHOMA
A form of cancer of the plasma cells. In - , the cells overgrow, forming a mass
or tumor that is located in the bone marrow.
MYELOMA
LEUKEMIA CLASSIFICATIONS
Based on numbers of
WBC present in peripheral blood
WBC count >15.0 x 109/L
LEUKEMIC LEUKEMIA
LEUKEMIA CLASSIFICATIONS
Based on numbers of
WBC present in peripheral blood
WBC count <15.0 x 109/L
WITH immature or abnormal forms of WBCs present in
peripheral blood

LEUKEMIA CLASSIFICATIONS
Based on numbers of
WBC present in peripheral blood
WBC count <15.0 x 109/L
WITH NO immature or abnormal forms of WBCs present in
peripheral blood
ALEUKEMIC LEUKEMIA
LEUKEMIA CLASSIFICATIONS

WBC present in peripheral blood
WBC count <15.0 x 109/L
WITH NO immature or abnormal forms of WBCs present in
peripheral blood
ALEUKEMIC LEUKEMIA
LEUKEMIA CLASSIFICATIONS
Based on duration of
untreated disease
rapidly progressive
disease that lasts several days to 6 mos
Treatable
ACUTE LEUKEMIA
LEUKEMIA CLASSIFICATIONS
Based on duration of
untreated disease
2 to 6 mos
SUBACUTE LEUKEMIA
LEUKEMIA CLASSIFICATIONS
Based on duration of
untreated disease
most patients live a minimum of 1 or 2 years or more
CHRONIC LEUKEMIA
LEUKEMIA CLASSIFICATIONS
Based on type of WBC
Involved
predominance of
immature (blast) WBC
ACUTE LEUKEMIA
LEUKEMIA CLASSIFICATIONS
Based on type of WBC
Involved
predominance of
mature/old WBC
CHRONIC LEUKEMIA
LEUKEMIA CLASSIFICATIONS
Based on cell lineage

MYELOID LEUKEMIA
LEUKEMIA CLASSIFICATIONS
Based on cell lineage
