The basophilic cytoplasm resembles a grape-like appereance due to the spherical inclusions which are composed of Russel bodies containing condensed cytoplasmic immunoglobulin. Mott cells can be seen in the presence of infection or hematological malignancies, monotone myeloid blasts are also recognized in this photograph (May-Grünwald Giemsa Stain, 100x magnification, bone marrow aspirate).
