30 June 2023 (Friday) - NEQAS 2302 BF

The results of the most recent morphology NEQAS came in today:

2303 BF1

I said autoagglutination target cells spherocytes atypical lymphocytes smear cells thrombocytopenia ???  GF

Consensus View Agglutination Lymphocytosis Lobulated, Clover Leaf Lymphocytes Atypical/Suspect Reactive Lymphocytes Target cells

This was indeed a case of EBV infection

2302 PA2
 

I said rouleaux acanthocytes myeloblasts lymphocytosis some smear cells thrombocytopenia “this is nasty; the first one wasn’t”

Consensus View Thrombocytopenia Lymphocytosis Echinocytes/Crenated Cells Abnormal/Suspect Neoplastic Lymphocytes Cleft Nuclei

This was a case of CLL with an evolving MDS/AM

I’m happy with that…
