Pitfalls in diagnostic hematopathology are underestimated and underreported. Major causes of diagnostic error in hematopathology include: 1) inadequate material; 2) inadequate workup; 3) inadequate clinical correlation; 4) over or under interpretation; 5) challenges in hematopathology. In the first part of this review series, I will focus on the pitfalls in diagnosing and differentiating chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) and mantle cell lymphoma, and discuss the strategies to avoid potential diagnostic errors based on my personal experience.
血液病理学诊断中的陷阱常被低估且报告不足。血液病理学诊断错误的主要原因包括:1)样本不足;2)检查不充分;3)临床关联不足;4)解读过度或不足;5)血液病理学中的挑战。在本综述系列的第一部分,我将重点关注慢性淋巴细胞白血病/小淋巴细胞淋巴瘤(CLL/SLL)和套细胞淋巴瘤诊断与鉴别中的陷阱,并根据我的个人经验讨论避免潜在诊断错误的策略。
