Coexistence of leukemic infiltration and extramedullary hematopoeisis in a lymph node: A cytological diagnosis

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...

description 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.
