The blasts show a dense, irregular nuclearstructure <strong>and</strong> narrow cytoplasm (cf. mononucleosis, p. 69). Lymphocyte (2). c ALLblasts with indentations must be distinguished from small-cell non-Hodgkinlymphoma (e.g., mantle cell lymphoma, p. 77) by cell surface marker analysis.d Bone marrow: large, vacuolated blasts, typical <strong>of</strong> B-cell ALL.
