✅Bone marrow, female, 83 years old. Emperipolesis (phenomenon of intact cell engulfment)
Morphological picture of emperipolesis in a bone marrow smear: intact hematopoietic cells within the cytoplasm of a megakaryocyte. Clinical case of an 83-year-old female patient.
Normal megakaryocyte morphology in bone marrow: multilobed nucleus, signs of emperipolesis in the cytoplasm, and platelet formation.
