I'm a bit concerned about my test results. My mean platelet volume is showing 14.6, but my platelet count is within the normal range at 157, and my WBC is also normal. Could you help me understand what this all means?

Question

I'm a bit worried about the results of my ultrasound-guided FNAC on my left cervical neck. The report mentions polymorphous lymphoid cell population, which includes mature lymphocytes, centrocytes, controllers, and histiocytes, but no granuloma or necrosis was seen.
