i’m a medical student, and i’m doing my college project. i got pathology as my subject and i need much information for histopathology for benign and malignant cervix tumor. thank you.
Ma’am i m your fan from Quantia md..
thanks for your love for students..
(^_^)
yummy i like pathology
Nice site, I am listowner of 3,000 subscribers mpdsupport.org, I’ll post your site to our readers, all myeloproliferative issues.
Nice!Nice!Nice!Much elated to be a member.
i like yr efforts
assalam u alikum
actually i like pathology i want to be a doctor .ok thanks
i wanna know how do cells in myloid leukaemia M3 of the fab classification look like?
AML-M3, or acute promyelocytic leukemia, is a leukemia in which the main proliferating cell is the promyelocyte. So the majority of the cells present will be promyelocytes – but they are malignant, so they don’t look exactly like normal promyelocytes. They do have lots of granules, usually, and they are a bit larger than blasts. Sometimes they have strange nuclear contours, such that the nucleus is not perfectly round but is sort of indented or folded. The pathognomonic cell is the faggot cell, so-named because the cell contains a ton of Auer rods (which resemble a fagot, from Old French for bundle of sticks).
thank
you
love this site
i am dam intrested to knm more abt pathology,,,,,,
thanks alot متشکرم………
Hello)
I’m a veterinary pathologist. I found a lot of useful info on the site.
Thank you.
very very impressive .Outstanding.Love it.
thanks for your efforts
I’m so happy to have stumbled upon your site. I’ve even recommended to the rest of my Medical Lab Science class.
Thanks so much and keep up the great articles!
i used to like pathology during my ug days.But i started loving it after seeing this site.thank u mam…
thanks
nice,benefit iformation about pathology.. everyday..everywere

thanks for your efferts
I like it
thanks. please go on
thanks please go on
Hi, i always get confused in between monocytes and metamyelocytes.tell me plz some clue.
Good question. The key is in the chromatin pattern. Metamyelocytes have a chromatin pattern that is more like mature neutrophils – it is more clumpy and less “raked” and smooth than monocyte chromatin. Also, the cytoplasm of a metamyelocyte contains granules – specific granules (pinkish-fawn color, just like in mature neutrophils) and a few primary (dark purple) granules. Monocyte cytoplasm is usually dishwater gray-purple and may have a few dust-like granules but that’s it (no specific granules for sure).
You can’t go on the shape of then nucleus, because both can have an indented or horseshoe shape.
Another trick if you’re confused about a particular cell is to look around and find cells you know for sure are monocytes, and cells you know for sure are metamyelocytes – then go back to the one you were not sure about, and sometimes you’ll see it fits into one of the two categories.
Hope that helps!
i end up counting bands either more or less,what actually comes in the category of bands….there are so many different shapes of bands,slight lobulations,s shaped,some folded over themselves,what is the right thing to do…please help
That is a very good question. Nobody seems to agree on exactly what constitutes a “band.” Even seasoned pathologists argue about that. So I don’t think you need to worry too much about getting it perfect – because there is no universal agreement on this. In my mind, a band is a neutrophil that looks like a mature neutrophil (clumped chromatin, nice pink cytoplasm) but just doesn’t have segments in the nucleus. If I see pinched areas, I don’t call it a band. I think it’s best to err on the conservative side, and only call them when you see them clearly. Otherwise, everyone has a few neutrophils that (because of folding or artifact) could look like bands.
joined. interesting way to Learn Path..
im interested and i want to learn more, and one thing more the explanation is very clear.
I totally love your blog. Thank you very much for making Pathology interesting!
Hi everyone, i’m new here and i liked this site.. pathology is the best.U will awesome doctor if u can learn and love him
The explanation given is clear and easily understood, plus it’s fun to read! Thank you, you’ve been a great help. Hope you continue to educate further =)
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.
nice
tnx for excellenc your website
it is a nice deal
Hi everyone, just been introduced to general pathology…..I can see that its really intresting
Great site! A few things I am attempting to research and I think they would be interesting topics for possible future posts…dermatoses of pregnancy…specificially pathology of Pemphigoid gestationis and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis. Thanks for your hard work!
Thanks for your comment! I don’t know much about dermatoses of pregnancy – it would be an interesting topic to look into. Best wishes in your research!
Just find this site and it is so great! Thanks doctor!
thankks a bunch.This does helps
Interesting way for pathology students, thanks
Hello Ma’am…
I am a medical student from India…
I had a question and i hope you wouldn’t mind lending your attention to that…
it goes as-
Does hemolytic anemia caused by metallic prosthetic cardiac valves come under the category of Microangiopathic Hemolytic Anemia??
According to Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine it does come under that category…should not it be classified as a macroangiopathic hemolytic anemia or better as an RBC fragmentation syndrome??
Thank you…
Hey Prof Kristin, Thanks!I wish i have found your website when i was a med student. You make the subject so simple and interesting. Making complicated things simple is no easy feat.
You should write a book. You are good! God bless u!
We generally put that particular anemia (hemolytic anemia due to heart valves) under the category of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia along with all other anemias in which you can see red cell fragmentation. It may be better to call it a “macroangiopathic” hemolytic anemia (since the hemolysis is not occurring in little vessels!) or a RBC fragmentation syndrome, but in the US, we don’t really use those terms.
a good and very easier explation
