The cells are plasma cells. They are larger than normal small lymphocytes with more abundant cytoplasm. The cytoplasm is more basophilic than the cytoplasm of a normal lymphocyte and a well-defined perinuclear halo (clearing in the golgi area) is noticeable. The nucleus is eccentrically placed. Plasma cells are counted in a separate category on a bone marrow differential.

Hematogones are blast-like cells that are more mature than lymphoblasts. They are usually tallied with lymphocytes when performing a bone marrow differential.
