1954 E. Kaplan et al. in Blood 9 204 For the purpose of this report these cells were designated as ‘sideroblasts’ in analogy to the term siderocyte already generally accepted for erythrocytes with iron-staining inclusions.
1976 Lancet 18 Dec. 1364/1 The patient's bone-marrow exhibited a variable number of normal sideroblasts ranging from 20 to 70%.
