Cytological features of erythroblastic islands in bone marrow: structure of macrophages surrounded by erythrokaryocytes, and nuclear phagocytosis.
An erythroblastic island is a macrophage surrounded by erythrokaryocytes. Individual macrophages have vacuolated cytoplasm and remnants of phagocytosed material.
