Maturation of Howell-Jolly bodies observed in a case of malignant histiocytosis.
The maturation of Howell-Jolly bodies was microscopically observed on the May-Grünwald-Giemsa-stained film of bone marrow obtained from a patient with malignant histiocytosis. The bodies separated from the nucleus at the polychromatophilic normoblast stage and condensed faster than the main nucleus before denucleation in the normoblast stage.
