(b) Peripheral smear showing microcytic hypochromic red blood cells with increased white blood cell (WBC) count and decreased platelet (Leishman, xobj. 40). (c and d) Peripheral smear showing increased WBC with blasts (arrow head). Note the presence of basophil (arrow) (Leishman, xobj. 100)

case_images: Computerized tomography scan (CT scan) revealed a hypodense area in right frontal - temporal region with areas of the infarct [Figure 1a]. Peripheral smear showed microcytic hypochromic red blood cells with increased white blood cell counts, which predominantly showed myeloblast (30%) and monoblast (30%), basophils constituted 8%, rest of the myeloid series constituted 32% [Figure 1b-d].
