A ”Meow-cyte” from Melaku Abay Muluneh or Why Microscopy Never Gets Old!
Melaku Abay Muluneh, Director and Chief Pathologist at Cerba Lancet Africa, shared on LinkedIn:
”Morphology Moment of the Day
Some peripheral smears came with an unexpected guest.
Here, one RBC fragment showed up with a spot-on cat silhouette, instantly earning the nickname “meow-cyte.”
These small surprises are part of what makes morphology so captivating.
These tiny details remind us why microscopy never gets old.
Colleagues:
What’s the most unusual or memorable shape you’ve spotted on a smear?”
