Urinalysis--patient had "squames"???

Subject: Urinalysis--patient had "squames"???

I looked this up and found a definition for "squame" meaning a flake or scale of skin.  Can this be in a urinalysis? Or would it more likely be "squamous" cells as in squamous epithelial cells? This doctor is driving me nuts tonight and he's not even ESL.  Give me an Antonio Banderas sound-alike any time....

Doctor is reading lab results for a patient with unexplained eosinophilia and iron deficiency anemia.  "Urinalysis does not have [amocidrin/amocytherin/emocidrin?]"  I've gotten so used to this doc I haven't been stumped in awhile, but I can't get this one.  Probably because I'm so tired!  Thanks for any ideas.
