In the peripheral blood (May-Grünwald-Giemsa stain) of this patient lymphoma cells can be detected. They show a large, deeply indented nucleus (->) and scanty cytoplasm. Further diagnostics confirmed a mantle cell lymphoma.

Peripheral blood (May-Grünwald-Giemsa stain) of an 82-year old patient with RCMD showing a macrocytic, hyporegenerative anaemia with clear changes of the red blood cells (micro- and macrocytosis, poikilocytosis and some teardrop cells (->)).

May-Hegglin anomaly belongs to a family of macrothrombocytopenias characterised by mutations in the MYH9 gene. It is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterised by various degrees of thrombocytopenia that may be associated with purpura and bleeding.

Cell description:
Size: 10-12 µm
Nucleus: kidney or U-shaped with clumped chromatin
Cytoplasm: acidophilic
neutrophil: fine reddish granulation
Cell division is not possible anymore and protein synthesis has stopped.

Cell description:
Size: 20 µm
Nucleus: kidney- to band-shaped
Cytoplasm: grey and clear with fine azurophilic granules
They are shortly located in the peripheral blood and then move into the tissue where they differentiate into macrophages. Function: Phagocytosis either of harmful pathogens or dead, dying or damaged cells from the blood.
