'''Appearance'''

The occurrence of two populations of circulating erythrocytes that have different morphological features. Generally (but not exclusively), a fairly normal population co-exists with an abnormal population (characterised by different colour, size, and/or shape).

'''Significance'''

A true dimorphic appearance (two entirely distinct populations) usually arises from one of a limited range of causes (see Causes).

'''Pitfalls'''

Many disorders that affect red cells (either through disordered production or through damage in the circulation) can cause mixed appearances with some cells being more severely affected. However, these generally cause a spectrum of appearances with transitional forms between the normal and the abnormal cells. A true dimorphic population should not have overlapping appearances.

'''1. Causes'''

<div style="width: 95%; overflow: auto; border: 1px solid navy; font-size:100%">
{| class="wikitable" style="color:black; background-color:#ffffff;" cellpadding="15"
!colspan="1" |'''Transfused red cells'''
|-
|Probably the most common cause encountered in the laboratory. Transfused blood cells co-exist with diseased cells. The transfused cells have a normocytic normochromic appearance, while the abnormal erythrocytes differ (having the characteristics of the underlying disorder e.g. microcytic hypochromic cells).
|-
!colspan="1"| '''Treated nutritional disorder'''
|-
|Where abnormal red cells result from a readily reversible cause (e.g. iron deficiency or megaloblastic anaemia), newly-formed normal cells will coexist with the abnormal cells for a period of time e.g. normocytic normochromic cells circulate together with microcytic hypochromic cells in early phase after treatment for iron deficiency.
|-
!colspan="1"| '''Clonal bone marrow disease'''
|-
|A dimorphic blood film is typical of sideroblastic anaemia (although this is not always seen). In this disorder the bone marrow produces two distinct cell forms that circulate together. Typically,a hypochromic-microcytic population is seen together with a normochromic-normocytic population.
