#MorphologyMonday

You are doing your blood film competency and this is what you see on one of the slides. What are the significant findings and what could be a cause?

Special thanks to Malissa from @diff_discussion@twitter.com for sharing the images.

Last week's #MorphologyMonday images showed:

1.) Atypical / reactive lymph in infectious mononucleosis.

2.) Prolymphocytes from a prolymphocytic leukaemia.

3.) Plasma cell from a plasma cell leukaemia.

4.) Hairy cell from a hairy cell leukaemia.

Lymphocytes can come in all different shapes and sizes. Here are 4. Can you name each and when you may see them.

These images are from a patient who came to the ED. With a WBC of 36, Hb 90g/L and PLT of 26, a blood film was made. What do you think it is?

I was totally blown away 😍 by the incredible morphology of these megakaryocytes from the bone marrow of a kid with #AMLsm after #BMT #blooducation

Everyone likes getting flowers, so here's one for the first case of the year. When you see this on the blood film, what is going on? What causes this?

(you may need to open the image full screen to see it in its entirety)

Parasites on the film. 🦟🩸

Which one?

A few months ago, I posted these images and a surprising number of people commented, "smear cells = CLL". But is it? Really?

What do you think?

4 images, 1 diagnosis. For a bonus point, what's the mutation that causes it?

A sample pops onto the haematology authorisation queue. The FBC results are:

WBC: 7.09
RBC: 4.57
HB: 62
MCV: 49.9
MCH: 13.6
MCHC: 272
RDW: 24.0

The clinical details state, PR bleed. What does the film show and does it match the FBC?
