English: Pappenheimer bodies are abnormal granules of iron found inside red blood cells. When cells are stained with Giemsa or Wright stain, they appear as blue-purple granules adjacent to the cell membrane. Prussian blue stain can be used to demonstrate the presence of iron.
Português: Corpúsculos de Pappenheimer são inclusões anormais de ferro encontradas em hemácias. Quando corados por Giemsa ou Wright, os corpúsculos são vistos como grânulos azul-púrpura adjacentes à membrana celular. A coloração Azul da Prússia (Perls) pode ser utilizada para demonstrar a presença de ferro.
