@@aronberhanu7119I actually found it quite enjoyable in how it lightened things up for me (a patient researching as I await results from a peripheral blood smear I just got done 3.5 days ago). 🥲

A cottage loaf is a traditional type of bread originating in England. The loaf is characterised by its shape, which is essentially that of two round loaves, one on top of the other, with the upper one being smaller....classic 'cottage loaf' pattern typically associated with M3 variant.

Just a question Dr, now when you count these cells with cottage loaf..do you count them as blasts or as Promyelocytes?
