microgranular variant APL- BM
Description: Bi-lobar or irregular nuclear shape in variant PML. There is one faggot cell at the upper left. Some tumour cells in variant APL can have cytoplasmic protrusions (four from five cells in lower part of the picture)-
Type:
Klíčová slova*: faggot cell

microgranular variant APL- BM
Description: In all cases of acute leukaemia with bilobar nuclei it is really necessary carefully search for cells with bundles Auer rods in cytoplasm ("faggot cells"). This finding brings high suspicion to diagnose of microgranular variant of APL, which should be confirmed by cytogenetic and/or molecular genetic examination - presence of t(15;17) and/or PML/RARalfa fusion gene.
Type: bone marrow
Klíčová slova*: promyelocyte, Auer rod, faggot cell

APL- bone marrow 4
Description: Smear show typical pathological cells of acute promyelocytic leukamia - hypergranulated abnormal promyelocyte and "faggot cells". Rest of cells are two normoblasts and damaged cells.
Type: bone marrow
Klíčová slova*: faggot cell

APL- bone marrow 3
Description: At centre of the picture are two "faggot cells" on the right, two abnormal hypergranular promyelocytes on the left- one with cleaved or bilobated nucleus. Below are two hypergranular myelocytes with large reddish inclusions- upper myelocyt with cleaved nucleus, both of them are impaired.
Type: bone marrow
Klíčová slova*: myelocyte, faggot cell, hypergranulation

APL- bone marrow 2
Description: Smear shows "faggot cells" with numerous Auer rods, myeloblasts and above to the left hypergranulated myelocyte.
Type: bone marrow
Klíčová slova*: myelocyte, Auer rod, faggot cell, hypergranulation

APL- bone marrow 1
Description: At centre of the picture is "faggot cell" and myeloblast.
Type: peripheral blood
Klíčová slova*: myeloblast, faggot cell

APL- peripheral blood 3
Description: "Faggot cell" in blood smear (bundles of Auer rods).
Type: peripheral blood
