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.

Transitional form of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia/prolymphocytic leukaemia with a white blood cell count of 250,000/μL. Prolymphocytes are indicated (->).

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.)
