Auer Rods Are Not Seen in Non-Neoplastic Cells

First I would like to thank Smeeta Gajendra for scrutinizing my article in her ‘Comment: In Response to “Auer Rod-Like Inclusions in Reactive Plasma Cells in a Case of Acute Myeloid Leukemia”’ published online and for bringing to light the missing reference of Sharma et al. [1], who reported a case of Auer rodlike inclusions in plasma cells in a case of therapy-related AML. I sincerely regret m...

Crystal structure of Auer rods in acute myeloblastic leukaemia (AMyL).

Ultrathin sections containing Auer rods from cases of acute myeloblastic leukaemia (AMyL) were tilted in the goniometer stage of the electron microscope and the resulting series of electronmicrographs analysed in an optical diffractometer illuminated by laser. The results showed that Auer rods of AMyL show a truly three dimensional crystal structure. Measurements from the optical diffraction pa...

Auer Rods in Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia Can Change the Diagnosis

Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorder with overlapping morphological features of myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative disease and a potential risk of transformation to acute myeloid leukemia. Presence of Auer rods in CMML is a rare finding and the presence of an occasional Auer rod gives the diagnosis of CMML-2 in spite of the presence of <5% blas...

Auer rods in a patient with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia type 2.

A 69-year-old man presented with anemia (hemoglobin, 77 g/L), thrombocytopenia (platelets, 84 3 10 /L), and leukocytosis (white blood cell count, 31 3 10/L) including monocytosis (2.61 3 10/L). Blood film showed a leukoerythroblastic picture with nucleated red cells and blasts. Neutrophils had dysplastic features such as hyposegmented and hypersegmented nuclei, rare circular nuclei, and hypogra...
