Drumstick as an appendage with thin filament bridge to the nucleus (associated with X-chromosome)

21

Osteoclast

32
Q
A

Fibroblasts

33
Q
A

Monoblast, promonocytes

34
Q
A

Megakaryoblast

35
Q

Monoblasts and promonocytes count in which leukemias?

A

Acute monoblastic leukemia

Acute monocytic leukemia

Acute myelomonocytic leukemia

36
Q

Monoblasts

A

NSE+

MPO+/-

May have pseudopod formation

Abundant cytoplasm

Round nucleus

Prominent nucleoli

37
Q

Promonocyte

A

NSE+

MPO+

Finely dispersed chromatin

Folded/grooved nucleus

Indistinct/absent nucleolus

Finely granulated cytoplasm

38
Q

Abnormal monocyte

A

Clumped chromatin

Variably indented, folded nucleus

Grey cytoplasm with more liliac granules

Absent/indistinct nucleoli

39
Q

Blast equivalents in:

  1. APL
  2. Pure eythroid leukemia
A
  1. Promyelocyte
  2. Proerythroblasts
40
Q

MPO

A

Myeloid differentiation

Absence doesn’t exclude (early myelo/mono-blasts may lack)

Often granular/Golgi staining

Monoblasts/promonocytes show fine, scattered granules

Negative in erythroid blasts, megakaryoblats, lymphoblasts

41
Q

Sudan Black

A

Parallels MPO staining, less specific

Occasional lymphoblastic leukemias show + (light grey granules rather than deeply black characteristis of myeloblasts)

42
Q

NSE

A
  1. α-napthyl butyrate (ANB)
  2. α-napthyl acetate (ANA)

Diffuse cytoplasmic activity in monoblasts and monocytes

Lymphoblasts mya have focal punctate activity with NSE

Negative in PMNs

Megakaryoblasts & erythroblasts may have some mulitfocal, punctate ANA+ but it is partially resistant to NaF inhibition (monocyte NSE is totally inhibited by NaF)

43
Q

CAE

A

naphthol-ASD-chloroacetate esterase

stains cells of neutrophil lineage and mast cells

negative in normal eos, may be + in neoplastic eos

44
Q

CAE + NSE

A

permits ID of monos and immature/mature PMNs simultaneously

myelomonocytic leukemias particularly express both

45
Q

PAS

A

+ in cytoplasm of leukemic proerythroblasts in erythroid leukemia (large globules)

46
Q

Ring Sideroblast

A

>/= 5 granules encircling >/= 1/3 nucleus

15% of cells in BM for RARS
