Micromegakaryocytes, or dwarf megakaryocytes, are abnormally small megakaryocytes with increased nuclear to cytoplasmic ratios and hypolobated nuclei.  Micromegakaryocytes are seen in chronic myelogenous leukemia, myelodysplasia, and other myeloid neoplasms; they may occasionally circulate in the peripheral blood in these conditions.
