7 June 2025 (Saturday) - NEQAS 2503 BF

I got the results of NEQAS 2503BF today.
 
For NEQAS 2503 BF1 I felt the red cells were unremarkable. The white cells showed blast cells, folded nuclei, cytoplasmic blebbing/hairy cells and neutropenia. The platelet count was reduced.
I spotted the salient features – the patient had AML.
 
For NEQAS 2503 BF2 I felt the red cells showed anisopoikilocytosis with nucleated red cells, target cells and burr cells seen. The white cells showed neutrophilia and monocytosis (with vacuolation). Some cells showed cleft nuclei  and clover leaf nuclei. I spent a while before deciding these were not Sezary cells. There were also smear cells there.
The platelet count was reduced.
I spotted the salient features – the patient had CMML.
