Auer rod-like inclusions are rarely seen in B-cell neoplasms patients. Here, we present a case of B-cell lymphoma with Auer rod-like inclusions in lymphoma cells. By light and transmission electron microscopy, these structures closely resembled Auer rods which were found in acute myeloid ...
Auer rod. An Auer rod (arrow) is arod-shaped inclusion in the cytoplasm of cells of myeloid lineage formed by the crystallization of azurophilic granule constituents. Auer rods are seen only in acute myeloid leukemia and high-grade myelodysplastic syndromes. They are usually seen in b...
Auer bodies present in immature granulocytes were found to contain specific evidence of acid phosphatase activity, indicating that Auer rods are lysosomes. A number of observations were made which support the origin of Auer rod lysosomes from azurophilic granules which are known to be lysosomes. The...
Faggot cells, leukemic cells with bundles of Auer rods in cytoplasm, are usually found in hypergranular APL; however, the presence of faggot cells cannot be considered a pathognomonic feature of APL,1 as it has been previously reported in the sporadic cases of non-promyelocytic AML.1-8 In ...
