Howell–Jolly body
text:
A Howell–Jolly body is a cytopathological finding of basophilic nuclear remnants in circulating erythrocytes. During maturation in the bone marrow, late erythroblasts normally expel their nuclei; but, in some cases, a small portion of DNA remains. The presence of Howell–Jolly bodies usually signifies a damaged or absent spleen, because a healthy spleen would normally filter such erythrocytes. The Howell–Jolly body is named after William Henry Howell and Justin Marie Jolly.
