Extramedullary hematopoeisis (EMH) occurs when function of the bone marrow is insufficient or destroyed. We report a case of lymph nodal mass in a young patient, diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) as infiltration by leukemia along with features of EMH. FNA smears from axillary lymph node revealed lymphoblasts with hand mirror cell and teat cell morphology. Also seen were occasional megakaryocytes and metamyelocytes.
当骨髓功能不足或遭到破坏时,就会发生髓外造血(EMH)。我们报告一例年轻患者的淋巴结肿块,经细针穿刺细胞学检查(FNAC)诊断为白血病浸润并伴有髓外造血特征。腋窝淋巴结的细针穿刺涂片显示有具有手镜细胞和乳头细胞形态的原始淋巴细胞。还偶尔可见巨核细胞和晚幼粒细胞。
