- The prominent features in the arrowed cell of Image are the eye catching distinct nucleoli. The nucleoli, smooth chromatin, high nucleus to cytoplasm ratio and the appearance of accompanying cells aid in the correct identification of the arrowed cell as a blast.
- Without lineage specific markers such as Auer rods, granules or specific stain studies it is not possible to accurately identify the lineage of a blast cell.
