Peripheral blood smear for the task on nucleated cell morphology
Peripheral blood smear for the task on nucleated cell morphology

💡 An exercise from the Closed Club of Laboratory Hematologists. These cells, found in a peripheral blood smear, exhibit an overlapping phenomenon in the chromatin. The chromatin also has a clumped structure. Which cells most likely correspond to this description? A) Promonocytes B) Sézary cells C) Lymphocytes with cleaved nuclei (centrocyte-like).
