Lymphocytic Leukemia
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. Increased number of small, well-differentiated lymphocytes. Note “smudge cells.”
Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Round or convoluted nuclei, absence of cytoplasmic granules, and high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio. (Courtesy of Dr. D. Sutton).
Hodgkins Lymphoma
(Lymph Node)
Reed-Sternberg cell (arrow) is large and bilobed or binucleate. Prominent within the mirror-image nuclei are giant inclusion-like nucleoli (“owl’s eyes”).
Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia
Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia
Increased numbers of granulocytes and their precursors. Note most WBCs are band forms of segmented granulocytes.
Basophilic Stippling
Basophilic stippling are inclusions of aggregated ribosomes. They are a non-specific finding that can indicate regenerative anemias, such as lead poisoning and thalassemia among others.
