HEME

Review of the peripheral blood smear revealed s/l somonice on poikocytosis with lymphocytes and acanthocytes in some teardrop forms.

Can anyone decipher this dictation for me.

Thanks

Patient is male with history of rectal cancer who on routine screening had (S/L) hemeposi stool. Is the doctor possibly saying heme positive stool?  

The hospital I have worked at for 15 years says no.  So we don't hyphenate heme positive. Don't know what the BOS says though, we don't really use it.
