52. Erythrocyte inclusions: a Polychromatic erythrocyte with fine, dense
basophilic stippling. b Erythrocyte with Howell–Jolly bodies (arrow) in addition to a
lymphocyte (after splenectomy). c Erythrocyte with two Howell–Jolly bodies (arrow)
alongside an orthochromatic erythroblast with basophilic stippling (thalassemia, in
this case with functional asplenia). d Erythrocyte with a delicate Cabot ring (arrow)
(here in a case of osteomyelosclerosis). e Thrombocyte layered onto an erythrocyte
(arrow).

61. Neutrophil abnormalities
Copious granulation in a band cell (1) (toxic granulation) next to band cells (2) with Döhle
bodies (3) toxic granulation, cytoplasmic vacuoles, and Döhle bodies in band cells
62. Segmented neutrophilic granulocyte during
degradation
Drumstick (arrow 1) as an appendage with a
thin filament bridge to the nucleus
(associated with the X-chromosome)
63. Reactive or atypical lymphocytes
Infectious mononucleosis, peripheral blood.
These reactive atypical lymphocytes havepleomorphic
reticular nuclei, peripheral basophilia of cytoplasm.
