Howell–Jolly bodies are seen with markedly decreased splenic function. Common causes include asplenia (post-splenectomy) or congenital absence of spleen (right atrial appendage isomerism). Spleens are also removed for therapeutic purposes in conditions like
74:, late erythroblasts normally expel their nuclei; but, in some cases, a small portion of DNA remains. The presence of Howell–Jolly bodies usually signifies a damaged or absent spleen, because a healthy spleen would normally filter such erythrocytes. 689: 302: 295: 31: 576: 288: 613: 601: 438: 384: 638: 275: 633: 396: 176: 131: 197: 535: 648: 492: 172: 78: 643: 571: 497: 428: 461: 220: 139: 82: 97:
