Platelet Esoteric Testing
A Case Study
Emperipolesis

June 2010
And megakaryocytes showed evident emperipolesis. The upper 2 panels show the lymphocytes in cytoplasm of megakaryocytes on a bone marrow aspirate smear. The lower panels show neutrophils are present in the cytoplasm of megakaryocytes, which is better appreciated when the cytoplasm of megakaryocytes is highlighted by factor VIII immunohistochemical stain.
