Q. Can you please simplify for me how to pick if the case is leukemia or lymphoma ?
Here is another case in our growing collection of unknown cases (you can find other cases here, here, here, here and here).
I’m super excited about my new study guide, which will be available on Monday. It’s a collection of all of our best Pathology Student stuff on hematopathology and coagulation.
There are some Pathology Student posts that readers seem to turn to over and over.
Finally – after jumping through a LOT of hoops, The Complete Hematopathology Guide is now on iBooks.
The Complete (but not obsessive) Hematopathology Guide – is here! Check out the cover at the left – click on it, and you’ll be taken to a page that describes the guide and has a place to order.
