I am a pathologist and receive a sample (not saying of what) asking for analysis. After analysis I report that there is no unusual features whatsoever, despite finding several cells with up to 32N chromosomes in my sample. What am I looking at that I would say that this is not a worrisome feature?
This is not a question I found anywhere, it is something I came across recently and made up a question which is probably phrased odd (have taken the evening off and have been drinking for a few hours), I just thought it was pretty cool.

:shock: that amount of polyploidy would be normally possible only in osteoclasts and megakaryocytes, for what I know.

I know polypploidy to this degree wuld result in spontaneous abortion, so would that mean that this is prob from a aborted fetus??? Just a guess!!!

Ritalin is correct, the cell is a megakaryocyte
