Patient was seen by his GP for a routine preoperative check before dental surgery. He was found to have low haemoglobin and large left upper quadrant mass. Complete blood count (CBC): 3.36 x 102/L 9.3 x 10/L 5.9 x 10/L RBC WBC PLT HGB 10.9 g/dL HCT 31.2 MCV 92.8 fL Neutrophils Lymphocytes 14% 15% Abnormal cells 71% (shown) Bone marrow biopsy: Aspirate: A small amount of fluid was aspirated, and showed 78.1% abnormal cells similar to those in the blood smear.
