Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome include abnormal complete blood count, peripheral blood smear, cytogenetic analysis, and immunohistochemistry.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
Laboratory Findings
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome include abnormal complete blood count, peripheral blood smear, cytogenetic analysis, immunohistochemistry, and bone marrow biopsy.[1]
Complete Blood Count
On complete blood count, characteristic findings of myelodysplastic syndrome include:[1]
Peripheral Blood Smear
On peripheral blood smear, characteristic findings of myelodysplastic syndrome include:[2][3][4][5]
- Macro-ovalocytes
- Basophilic stippling
- Howell-Jolly body
- Acquired or pseudo-Pelger-Huët anomaly
Cytogenetic Analysis
On cytogenetic analysis, characteristic findings of myelodysplastic syndrome include:[6][7]
- Deletions within the long arm of chromosome 5
- Deletions within the short arm of chromosome 17
- Monosomy 7
- Monosomy 8
