From CAP Survey
Lymphocyte correctly identified by 96.8% of participants.
Number of Responses 228 74 29 22 7
Percent of Labs 63.0% 20.4% 8.0% 6.1% 1.9%
Cell type or finding Plasma cell Hairy cell Nucleated red cell Reactive/Atypical lymphocyte Normal lymphocyte
Number of Responses 295 67 22 9 4
Percent of Laboratories 73.8% 16.8% 5.5% 2.3% 1.0%
Cell Identified Lymphoma/S?zary cell Atypical lymphocyte
Monocyte Segmented neutrophil
Normal lymphocyte
Study Which Evaluated Consistency with Morphologic Evaluation of Lymphocytes
157 hospitals were sent a set of 56
photomicrographs from a 3 year old orthopedic
patient
Asked technologists to differentiate between normal lymphocytes, atypical, plasma cells, prolymphocytes, blasts
For 7 cells (normal) there was >90% agreement. No agreement was seen
with the other 49 images
114 labs responded with 671 individuals participating

The Divergent Morphological Classification of Variant Lymphocytes in Blood Smears
Summary of author's conclusions:
? Morphology of lymphocytes is complex; unfortunately a uniform definition of abnormal lymphocytes is lacking
? Confusing terminology is used: variant, atypical, etc ? Proving clinical information at bench should lead to a
better interpretation of morphology ? Recognition of abnormal lymphs can contribute to rapid
diagnosis of various conditions
Today's talk will address these issues and hopefully provide useful information on how to recognize and classify the various forms of lymphoid cells that can be encountered on peripheral blood smears

Consider sample age
Storage artifacts in lymphocytes
? Hyperchromatic cells ? Vacuolated ? Smudged or necrobiotic ? Nuclear membrane breakage,
nucleoplasm leaks mimicking ? Cytoplasmic inclusions ? Nuclear lobes ? Cytoplasmic blebbing or projections
