🧐 NEUTROPHIL hyposegmentation
Chromatin is mature, one could even say overmature. In this case, the nuclei are more often round or bean-shaped, which can be mistakenly interpreted as a myelocyte/metamyelocyte. ☝🏻BUT in fact, it is a mature cell.
📌Neutrophil hyposegmentation can be hereditary (Pelger-Huët anomaly) and acquired (MDS; infectious diseases; certain medications).
