6 January 2026 (Tuesday) - NEQAS 2508 BF

I got hold of the results for NEQAS 2508BF today…
 
2508 BF1
 
I said:
 
Lymphocytosis (consensus 3^rd)
smear cells (consensus 4^th)
Thrombocytopenia (consensus 1^st)
Abnormal Lymphs (consensus 6th)
 
I felt this was CLL – it was.
 
2508 BF2
 
I said:
 
Myelocytes (consensus 3^rd)
Promyelocytes (consensus 4th)
Nrbc (consensus 2^nd)
Blast cells (consensus 5th)
Thrombocytopenia (consensus 1^st)
 
I felt this was CML. The expert opinion was uncertain. Had this appeared in real life I would have referred it anyway…
