The present study was conducted to categorise the morphological features on bone marrow aspirate cytology into common, uncommon, and atypical features in a nonendemic region which would be helpful in clinching an early and correct diagnosis especially in clinically unsuspected cases.<jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. The morphological features on bone marrow were categorized into common, uncommon, and atypical in cases of leishmaniasis from non endemic region.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. Out of total 27 cases, 77.7% were residents of places at the height of 500\u2009m or above and fever was the most common presentation followed by hepatosplenomegaly. Plasmacytosis, hemophagocytosis were the common cytological features while dysmyelopoiesis, presence of leishmania bodies in nonhistiocytic cells, and granuloma with necrosis were uncommon features. Aggregates of LD bodies in form of ring, floret, or strap shapes along with giant cells constitute the atypical morphological features.<jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. The knowledge of common, uncommon, and atypical features on bone marrow aspirate cytology is helpful in clinching an early and correct diagnosis of leishmaniasis especially in non endemic areas where clinical suspicion is low. These features will guide the pathologist for vigilant search of LD bodies in the marrow for definite diagnosis and thus will also be helpful in preventing unnecessary workups.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2013\/861032","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,9,8]],"date-time":"2013-09-08T17:01:42Z","timestamp":1378659702000},"page":"1-6","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Visceral Leishmaniasis with Associated Common, Uncommon, and Atypical Morphological Features on Bone Marrow Aspirate Cytology in Nonendemic Region"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2013","author":[{"given":"Harish","family":"Chandra","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences, Swami Ram Nagar, Doiwala, Dehradun, Uttarakhand 248140, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0652-4708","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Smita","family":"Chandra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences, Swami Ram Nagar, Doiwala, Dehradun, Uttarakhand 248140, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0217-4269","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Rajeev Mohan","family":"Kaushik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences, Swami Ram Nagar, Doiwala, Dehradun, Uttarakhand 248140, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","volume-title":"Leishmaniasis","year":"2008"},{"issue":"2","key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"155","DOI":"10.4081\/gh.2010.197","volume":"4","year":"2010","journal-title":"Geospatial Health"},{"key":"3","volume":"3, article e2011035","year":"2011","journal-title":"Mediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases"},{"issue":"1","key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"12","DOI":"10.1159\/000324961","volume":"54","year":"2010","journal-title":"Acta Cytologica"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0377-4929.59193"},{"key":"6","volume-title":"Leishmaniasis","year":"2011"},{"issue":"1","key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"10","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.2003.68.1.0680010","volume":"68","year":"2003","journal-title":"American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene"},{"issue":"3","key":"8","first-page":"171","volume":"68","year":"2002","journal-title":"Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology"},{"issue":"2","key":"9","first-page":"170","volume":"69","year":"2003","journal-title":"Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology"},{"issue":"2","key":"10","first-page":"117","volume":"36","year":"2004","journal-title":"Journal of Communicable Diseases"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.anpedi.2009.12.020"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MPH.0b013e31803076a8"}],"container-title":["Journal of Tropical Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/jtm\/2013\/861032.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/jtm\/2013\/861032.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/jtm\/2013\/861032.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,23]],"date-time":"2019-07-23T12:34:48Z","timestamp":1563885288000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/jtm\/2013\/861032\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013]]},"references-count":12,"alternative-id":["861032","861032"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2013\/861032","relation":{},"ISSN":["1687-9686","1687-9694"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1687-9686","type":"print"},{"value":"1687-9694","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013]]}}}
