I appreciate if you can help me with some back-up to support my decision to respect that term. Thank you all in advance!

Thank you SandraT! Pretty useful link. I had actually been surfing and searching at the American Society of Hematology´s site with no luck. It´s quite a valuable reference.
On the other side, I noticed I forgot to mention my source: a couple of papers from John L. Kennedy M.D. from the University of Illinois at Chicago (http://www.uic.edu/depts/mcpt/curric...k_lecture.html and http://www.uic.edu/depts/mcpt/curric...03hemat10.pdf).
I think they both make a pretty good back up for our choice for "popcorn cells". Cheers!
