“…We speculate that administration of prednisone (steroids) as well as probably other factors might increase numbers of HC with a ring-shaped nucleus, because of the known cytotoxic effect of steroids on cells originating from the B-lymphocytic lineage. In the literature, we found only two other patients with HCL and ringshaped (or doughnut-like) HC nuclei, but the use of corticosteroids or influence of other factors was not reported in them [5,9].…”

“…Other cytological forms of HC nuclei, except round, oval or indented, were described in HCL as kidney-shaped [4,5], folded [21], convoluted/overlapped [9,22,23], lobulated or multilobular [5,[23][24][25], dumb-bell, spindle or horseshoe-shaped nuclei [5,22,26]. In our series, none of these types represented more than 7% of the total HC, and the sum of cells with these types of nuclei was highest (19.5%) in the patient with the highest number of ring-shaped HC nuclei.…”
