Signs of an Immature Cell
Primary granules
Visible nucleoli
Non segmented nucleus
Prince-Nez Cell
Two lobes of the neutrophils nucleus are round and joined by a fine strand
Seen in Pelger-Huet anomaly
Stodmeister Cell
Non/monolobed neutrophil nucleus
Seen in Pelger-Huet anomaly
L1, L2, L3 Lymphocytes
L1: very small lymphocytes with almost no cytoplasm
L2: bigger lymphocytes with varying sizes, irregular clefting, nucleoli, and chromatin
L3: even bigger lymphocytes with vacuoles
Atypical Lymphs
Reactive: larger, more cytoplasm, irregular shape
CLL: soccer ball/turtle cells
Hairy Cell
Seen in HCL
Cleft Lymphocyte
Butt cells
Associated with Bordetella pertussis/Whooping cough
Plasma Cell
Activated B cells that produce large quantities of antibody
Usually mono-lobed and only in bone marrow
Plasmacytoid Lymphocyte
Cross between lymph and plasma cell
Flaming Plasma Cell
Associated with IgA production
