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.
