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
