cleaved cell

a cell with single or multiple clefts in the nuclear membrane.

A malignant lymphocyte with one or more deep clefts, linear infoldings of the nucleus, condensed chromatin and indistinct nucleoli. Cleaved cells are typical of follicular small cleaved cell lymphoma, an intermediate grade lymphoma which, despite widespread disease at the time of diagnosis, has a relatively prolonged and non-aggressive course. Large cleaved cells are typical of immunoblastic lymphoma (IL)

An Unusual Variant of Composite Lymphoma

The neoplastic cells vary from small to large, showing folding and cleaving of the nuclei, resembling centrocytes (small- to medium-sized cleaved cells with inconspicuous nucleoli) and centroblasts (large noncleaved cells with vesicular chromatin and several peripheral nucleoli).

Follicular lymphoma

The follicles were composed of predominantly small cleaved cells.
