19. MEGALOBLASTIC ANEMIA Oval macrocytosis indicates a problem with cell DNA replication. The developing red cell has difficulty in undergoing cell division but RNA continues to be translated and transcribed into protein leading to growth of the cytoplasm while the nucleus lags behind.

20. MEGALOBLASTIC ANEMIA

21. Hereditary spherocytosis Autosomal dominant inherited red cell membrane disorder caused by mutations in the genes that encode RBC membrane cytoskeleton proteins. Defective RBC's have problems with cellular proteins: spectrin and ankyrin. Spectrin deficiency leads to loss of erythrocyte surface area, which produces spherical RBCs. Spherocytes are cleared by the spleen more rapidly because their lack of deformability doesn’t let them squeeze through the spleen as easily.

30. BURKITT’S LYMPHOMA The abdominal organs are the usual site for the American form of this tumor, although it frequently tends to affect the jaws and mouth in the African form. Burkitt lymphoma are associated with translocations of the c-myc gene on chromosome 8 to a site adjacent to the immunoglobulin heavy-chain locus on chromosome 14.

32. PUNCHED-OUT LESIONS IN MULTIPLE MYELOMA (X-RAY)

34. Agnogenic Myeloid Metaplasia Agnogenic myeloid metaplasia is characterized by splenomegaly, and progressive anemia with immature peripheral blood granulocytes and erythrocytes, and teardrop-shaped red cells. The bone marrow is often replaced by fibrous tissue and blood is made in organs such as the liver and the spleen (extramedullary hematopoiesis). Tear drop cells

39. Thrombotic Microangiopathies Group of disorders characterized morphologically by thrombosis in capillaries and arterioles throughout the body presenting clinically with microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and, sometimes, renal failure.
