Abstract
This group incorporates most of the mononuclear cells described in the literature1 and specifically excludes small lymphocytes (Chapter 13). There are four morphologically distinct subgroups within this category:
-
1.
Monocytoid mononuclear cells (macrophages),
-
2.
Cytophagocytic mononuclear cells (CPM),
-
3.
Round nuclear mononuclear cells (synoviocytes),
-
4.
Immunoblasts.
