Smudge cells can be defined as ruptured or destroyed cells – most commonly lymphocytes where cytoplasm and nuclei get smudged during smear test of the patient’s blood/preparation of slides. When finding smudge cells, it is recommended to control the lab work frequently. If a persistent or higher number of smudge cells are found during 3 months, it should lead to a referral to the hematologist. The purpose of this review is to give an overview of smudge cells and conditions in which they can be found, as well as management of the findings.
