Identify the blood cells indicated by the arrows in this cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sample
Blasts
The image on the right is a cytospin preparation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). What is the cell type that is indicated by the arrow? (orange granules)
Eosinophil
What is the predominant cell population seen in this pleural effusion? (pink cells)
Eosinophils
The image on the right is a cytospin preparation of cerebrospinal fluid viewed at 1000X magnification. What is the identity of the primary blood cell type observed in this microscopic field? (sky blue cytoplasm, large purple nucleus)
Lymphocytes
The normal serous membranes are lined by which type of cells (These cells are commonly shed into pleural, peritoneal, and pericardial fluids)?
Mesothelial
Identify the binucleate cell indicated by the arrow in the pericardial fluid sample shown here.
Mesothelial cell
The image on the right is a cytospin of a pleural fluid. What is the cluster of cells indicated by the arrow?
Mesothelial cells
A patient suffering from typical leukemic symptoms presents to the emergency room. The physician orders a spinal tap after noticing possible central nervous system involvement. What type of cells are indicated by the red arrows? What type of cells are indicated by the blue arrows?
Red arrows- Blasts Blue arrows- Normal lymphocytes
What are the cells that are indicated by the arrows in the joint fluid image shown on the right? (large foamy cells)
Synovial lining cells
What is the most likely identification of the cells that are clumped together in this microscopic field? (clump of cells with extremely fine chromatin texture and the very large and prominent nucleoli_
Tumor cells
After suspecting that his patient may have lung disease, the physician sends a bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) to the laboratory for examination. What is the cell type indicated by the arrows in this cytospin sample? (paint-brush like cells with cilia)
Bronchial lining cells
A physician orders a peritoneal lavage on a patient who complained of fever and abdominal pain following an automobile accident. The fluid is analyzed in the laboratory. How should the sample shown in the image to the right be reported?
Neutrophils Intra and extracellular bacteria
A patient with suspected intraabdominal malignancy had a paracentesis performed. The fluid was then sent to the laboratory for examination and fluid differential. Which cells predominate in this cytospin field from the patient's sample?
Plasma cells
