Morphology Monday | Case MM251201
This week’s case comes from a 46 year old male who presented to his GP with no significant past medical history, does not take regular medications, and reports no recent infections. He drinks alcohol socially but not excessively.
MM251117: Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL)
These features are classical for CLL. The combination of a markedly elevated lymphocyte count, characteristic morphology, and a supporting clinical picture strongly points to chronic lymphocytic leukaemia as the final diagnosis.
Stop the Photocopy Panic: Introducing the Only Cells Blood Component Barcode Generator!
I’ve built a lightweight, web-based tool that eliminates the manual burden, allowing you to generate perfectly compliant and scannable blood component labels instantly. No more messy paperwork. No more out-of-date photocopies. Just validated, digital units ready for use.
Morphology Monday | Case MM251117
This week’s case comes from an 84-year-old male who was referred to the haematology team after routine blood tests showed a markedly raised white cell count. Clinically, he reported several weeks of general fatigue but no acute symptoms. He was otherwise well and presented via his GP.
Blood component barcode generator
This tool allows you to generate blood component barcodes on an image that can then be used for training, either scanning directly on the screen or by downloading the generated image.
MM251110: May-Hegglin anomaly
These features are characteristic of May–Hegglin anomaly, one of the MYH9-related disorders. This group of rare inherited conditions presents with thrombocytopenia and large platelets, sometimes accompanied by hearing loss, renal abnormalities, or cataracts.
Morphology Monday | Case MM251110
A 28-year-old female was referred to haematology after routine pre-operative blood tests revealed abnormalities on the full blood count. She reports occasional easy bruising but no significant bleeding history. There’s no recent infection, and she is otherwise well.
MM251103: Chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia
The combined clinical, haematological, and immunophenotypic findings are consistent with Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukaemia (CMML).
Morphology Monday | Case MM251103
This week we have a case from a 61-year-old patient who presented with persistent fatigue and unintentional weight loss. Routine bloods were performed, and the full blood count has raised some important red flags.
