Waldenström Macroglobulinemia: Bone Marrow Cytology

A clinical case of Waldenström macroglobulinemia: changes in complete blood count and plasmacytoid lymphocytes in bone marrow aspirate.

The patient is registered with a hematologist with a diagnosis of Waldenström macroglobulinemia.

About a month ago, lymphoproliferation (70%) was noted.

Currently, the CBC shows mild anemia, thrombocytopenia, and an elevated ESR (45 mm/hour).

In the bone marrow aspirate, the lymphoid lineage is not expanded, but lymphocytes with plasmacytoid cytoplasm are present.
