A B C Figure 1. Microscopic images of extramedullary hematopoiesis in a smear of a fine-needle aspirate from an enlarged lymph node in a dog with multicentric lymphoma, Hemacolor. (A) An elongated, dysplastic megakaryocyte with hypolobulation of the nucleus, surrounded by predominantly immature lymphocytes. The 2 largest cells with pale cytoplasm are presumptive myeloblasts (arrows). (B) A rubriblast (arrow) with a rim of intensely basophilic cytoplasm and a polychromatophilic rubricyte (arrowhead) are close to large lymphoid cells with very prominent nucleoli. (C) A promyelocyte (arrow) admixed with neoplastic lymphoid cells. Bar = 30 lm (A), 20 lm (B, C).
