WBC Abnormality And Anomaly Flashcards
Last stage of mitosis
Myelocyte
Increase in concentration of WBC
Luekocytosis
Term used to identify very immature cells seen on PBS
Blast
First morphologic stage where you can differentiate neutrophilic, eosinophilic and basophilic
Myelocyte
High NC ratio, finely reticular chromatin with nucleoli
Myeloblast
Blue cytoplasm with azurophilic granules
Promyelocyte
Nuclear remnants of lympho
Thumbprint appearance
Smudge cell
Classification of leukocytes
Granulation
Segmentation
Function
Lymphocyte Seen in nonmalignant reactive disorders
Variant lymphocyte
Stage: Synthesis of tertiary granules
Metamyelocyte
Formation of secretory vesicles
Band
Proposed by the NCCLS as the term of choice for this type of lymphocyte
Variant lymphocyte
Also called plasmacytoid lymphocyte and Turk irritation cell
Type 1
Macropolycyte
5-10 lobes. Seen in megaloblastic anemia
Hypersegmented neutrophils
Ruptured WBC with bare nucleus
Due to improper forceful smearing
Smudge cells
Vacuolated cell may be seen in
Severe infections
Chemical poisoning
Leukemia
Dark blue, ovoid non granular with russel bodies that produces proteins
Plasma cell
Seen in 88% of patients with cancer
Hairy cell
A phagocytic monocyte with engulfed nucleus of another cell
Tart cell
Predominant type seen in IM
Fried egg and flared skirt appearance
Type II
Infectious mononucleosis
A phagocytic neutrophil that has ingested an altered homogenous globular nuclear mass of destroyed cell
Lupus erythematosus cell
Wrinkled or onion skin like appearance
Gaucher bodies
Lymphocyte with notched lobulated or segmented or clover leaf like nucleus in chronic lymphocyte or lymphatic leukemia
Reider cells
Most valuable and reliable criterion for describing whether a WBC is mature or immature
Nuclear chromatin pattern
Functionally immunocompetent. Probably of B Cell origin
type 1/ plasmacytoid lymphocyte
Characterized by the failure of the nucleus of neutrophils to segment or lobulate
Pelger huet anomaly
The appearance of this inclusions is transient only
Dohle bodies
Presence indicates increased cell fragility or cell destruction
Smudge cell
Tart cell may be seen in
Drug sensitivity
Granulation results from an abnormal deposition and storage of mucopolyssacharide
Cytoplasmic granulation is not transient or related to an infection
Alder reilley anomaly
Genetic qualitative disorder with abundant sudanophilic inclusions
Jordan anomaly
Found in neutrophils as irregular, round or oval blue staining cytoplasmic inclusions
About the size of cocci 2um
Dohle bodies
Most common increase. Non malignant
Increase neutrophil
With holes or vacuoles in the cytoplasm
Sign of degeneration
Vacuolated cell
Rare autosomal dominant, qualitative leukocyte abnormality
May Hegglin anomally
Greenish pigment
Sulfhemoglobin
Test used to differentiate dohle bodies and May hegglin anomaly
Periodic acid schiff
Normal size of WBC
9-15um
Believed to be altered primary granules
Color dar blue to black
Toxic granulation
Characterized by dense azurophilic granulation in all types of leukocytes
Alder Reilly anomaly
Czediak higashi patients display?
Partial albinism
Pince Nez form of neutrophil nucleus
Pelger huet anomaly
First describe in association with progressive muscular dystrophy and subsequently icthyosis
Jordan anomaly
Rod like bodies when stain reddish purple in the cytoplasm of myeloblast in acute myelocutic leukemia
Auer bodies
