Hematopathology is the branch of pathology which studies diseases of hematopoietic cells hematopathology Diseases of Hematopoietic Cells see below . In the United States, hematopathology is a board certified subspecialty American Board of Pathology practiced by those physicians who have completed general pathology residency anatomic, clinical, or combined and additional fellowship training in hematology. Hematopoietic cells originate from the bone marrow and contribute the cellular components of blood including red blood cells erythrocytes , white blood cells leukocytes , and platelets megakaryocyte derived bodies . Additionally, leukocytes contribute significantly to the cellular composition of lymph nodes, the spleen, the thymus, and mucosa associated lymphoid tissues, and are present to some degree in all tissues. Diseases of the hematopoietic system generally manifest as decreases anemia or increases lymphoma leukemia in these cell types. Consequently, hematopathologists most frequently evaluate peripheral blood smears , bone marrow aspirates and biopsy biopsies , and lymph nodes biopsies to determine the nature of hematopoietic disease. The hematopathologist incorporates traditional microscopy with ancillary techniques including general laboratory values , immunohistochemistry , flow cytometry , and molecular diagnostic tests to make the most accurate medical diagnosis diagnosis . The hematopathologist works closely with the hematologist oncologist specialty physician doctor who sees the patient and decides on the best treatment based upon the medical diagnosis diagnosis made by the hematopathologist. Diseases of Hematopoietic Cells Diseases of the hematopoietic system are myriad and include hereditary and congenital disorders as well as acquired disorders. Hereditary and congenital disorders include, in part, bone marrow failure syndromes and primary immune deficiency ... relapse. Category Hematopathology ... more details

Prussian blue is a common stain used by pathologist s to detect the presence of iron in biopsy specimens, such as deposits of storage ferritin in bone marrow biopsy samples. The original stain formula, known historically 1867 as Perls Prussian blue after its inventor, German pathologist Max Perls 1843 1881 , used separate solutions of potassium ferrocyanide and acid to stain tissue these are now used combined, just before staining . Iron deposits in tissue then form the insoluble Prussian blue dye a complex hydrated ferric ferrocyanide substance in place, and are visualized the microscopically as blue or purple deposits within cells. ref http www.scribd.com doc 4448747 Perl Formula for Perls Prussian blue stain.

Causes Myelophythisis can occur in the setting of chronic myeloproliferative disease e.g. myelofibrosis , leukemia , lymphoma , and metastatic carcinoma or myeloma . It is common in people who have chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis. It has been linked to small cell lung cancer, breast cancer or prostate cancer that metastasizes to the bone marrow. ref name AmericanSociety American Society of hematology self assessment program, second edition, 2005, page 82. ref Diagnosis The first test for diagnosis myelophthisis involves looking at a small sample of blood under a microscope. Myelophthisis is suggested by the presence of red blood cells that contain cell nucleus nuclei or are teardrop shaped dacryocytes , or immature granulocyte precursor cells which indicates leukoerythroblastosis is occurring because the displaced hematopoietic cells begin to undergo extramedullary hematopoiesis. These immature granulocytes are seen in peripheral blood smears. Diagnosis is confirmed when a bone marrow biopsy demonstrates significant replacement of the normal bone marrow compartment by fibrosis, malignancy or other infiltrative process. The presence of immature blood cell precursors helps distinguish another cause of pancytopenia , aplastic anemia , from myelophthisic anemia because in aplastic anemia the hematopoietic cells are damaged and immature blood cells are not seen in the periphe ... more details
