Figure 1. Peripheral blood (cat 8). (A) Slightly immature plasma cell with eccentric oval nucleus, moderately dense chromatin, and pronounced paranuclear clearing. (B) Well‐differentiated plasma cell with an eccentric slightly oval nucleus, dense chromatin, and slight paranuclear clearing. (C) The plasma cell on the left has a small, slightly oval, eccentric nucleus, moderately dense chromatin, and scant cytoplasm with fine, wispy cytoplasmic processes. The cell on the right is larger and has a higher N:C ratio, consistent with a plasmacytoid lymphoblast or plasmablast, but chromatin is atypically dense and granular (maturation asynchrony).
