Unusual lymphocyte morphology in a case of chronic lymphatic leukaemia: apparent nuclear extrusion.
The unusual lymphocytes from a case of chronic lymphatic leukaemia are described in terms of surface morphology and ultrastructure. Surface blebs were found to consist of nuclear material surrounded by plasma membrane. On the information available it was not possible to determine whether these were due to cell motility or nuclear extrusion.
