The blood count showed: hemoglobin 57 g/L, platelets 59×109/L, leukocytes 2.4×109/L and the abdominal ultrasound a spleen of 158 mm. The morphological examination of peripheral blood showed left swift and some medium-sized lymphocytes with a very high nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio and homogenous immature chromatin (A). Manual count: neutrophils 18%, bands 2%, myelocytes 4%, lymphocytes 50%, monocytes 8% and “blasts” 18%. In the bone marrow aspirate multiple images of
