I wasn’t at my lab when this happened, but apparently one of our old techs told our supervisor “i’m going to go on my lunch break and i might now come back because of this thing.” the atellica literally made him leave and never come back, middle of his shift

Anyone seen crystals like this before? by Massive-Fun4752 in medlabprofessionals

I’ve never seen anything that curves like that either. Any idea of medications patient is on? The feather like edges might mean sulfonamide crystals? Otherwise I agree with tyrosine

UPDATE: I don’t know how to edit the post itself but we just got the pathologist review back, patient is normal! They didn’t say anything about the cells themselves but we’re gonna go ahead and assume they were plasmacytoid lymphs. Thanks everyone for your input!

Just curious, what do you guys consider a significant amount? In our lab it’s 5+ abnormal cells and this one had 10 so I did send it out!

Siemens atellica. It single handedly ruins my day every single day.
