Mantle Cell Lymphoma Leukemia: Blood Smear Findings

Clinical case of lymphoma leukemization: hyperleukocytosis 153×10⁹/L, over 90% atypical lymphoid cells with cleaved nuclei and nucleoli in the blood smear.

General blood test of a hematology patient: leukocytosis 153.65 × 10⁹/L, erythrocytes 4.72 × 10⁹/L, hemoglobin 118 g/L, platelets - 167 × 10⁹/L. The differential count shows over 90% pathological lymphoid cells with single nucleoli, finely dispersed chromatin, and irregular nuclear shapes. Lymphoma is probable; mantle cell lymphoma cannot be excluded. We are awaiting sternal puncture.
