Lobation is a characteristic of the cell nucleus of certain granulocytes, which are types of white blood cells, where the nucleus is segmented into two or more connected lobes.[1][2] Of the four types of granulocyte, only the mast cell is not lobated.
Lobation is also a characteristic of megakaryocytes in the bone marrow.[2]
| Cell type | Image | Lobation | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neutrophil |  |
 |
multilobed, i.e. having more than two lobes |
| Eosinophil |  |
bi-lobed, i.e. having two lobes | |
| Basophil |  |
 |
bi-lobed [3] |
