Can you match each of the lettered panels with one of the following?
1) Retinopathy 2) GI bleed 3) Massive splenomegaly 4) Platelet count 10 x 109/L #blood#hematology#MedEd#smears
Summer is here! First smear of the season with a tick-born illness -- Anaplasma phagocytophilum! Did you know that the feathered edge is one of the best places to look for microorganisms? Morulae in the cytoplasm of granulocytes can be more easily visualized here. #hemepath
Wild incidental finding in a laryngectomy: thyroid cartilage with osseous metaplasia, bone marrow production, and involvement by CLL! CD20+ CD5+ CD23+ CD10- cyclinD1- #ENTPath#HemePath#SurgPath
Is trying to predict the AML translocation by morphology still a thing for #hemepath people? It's a 1 player game where you are always the winner.
Another myeloid sarcoma.
Salmon-colored granules/patches in granular blasts => associated with t(8;21)
#pathboards#FOAMed
Grey colored giant (and small) platelets are the primary finding here.
DDX is broad - Bernard-Soulier, gray platelet disorder, ITP, May-Hegglin, but this is from a patient with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome.
Note how massive some plts are!

Adieu #USCAP2018 with this amazing case.
