Breast cancer cells (->) in peripheral blood.
<p>Breast cancer cells (->) in peripheral blood.</p>
It is extremely rare that cancerous cells leak into the peripheral blood. Here, cells from a breast carcinoma are visible on the blood film.

Cabot rings are round to oval or loop-like, fine, red-purple inclusions in red blood cells. They are remnants of the mitotic spindle apparatus. They can be seen with severe anaemia, e.g. thalassaemia, but are unspecific.

Blood film of a patient with chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML). The extremely high white blood cell count of 680,000/μL caused a hyperviscosity syndrome and led to total and only partially reversible deafness.

The barrel-shaped bacillus visible in the right granulocyte is Clostridium perfringens from a case of septic gangrene. (The reddish background is caused by massive red blood cell lysis. The white blood cells are about to dissolve as well.)
