What is emperipolesis in hematology? Morphological features of an intact neutrophil penetrating the cytoplasm of a megakaryocyte in the bone marrow.
EMPERIPOLESIS.
The “guest” (neutrophilic granulocyte) embedded in the megakaryocyte can leave the “host” at any time (without changes or consequences for itself).
Thus, ONE CELL PENETRATES ANOTHER, temporarily resides in it, and leaves it without any damage.
