Cell Case #18
This Cell Case presents a 45 year old male. He was admitted to the emergency ward with dizziness and dyspnoe d’effort.
Result from the cellcounter:
Hb-level 5,8 g/dL, leukocyte count 70 x109/L and a platelet count of 11 x109/L, LDH was elevated 700 (<250 E/L) and the PT was prolonged (20sec; <11sec) with a normal APTT and fibrinogen.

AML-M3 ( APML- Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia)
我来看看,欢迎不欢迎?
APML
APL Microgranular variant
ABNORMAL PROMYELOCYTES FAB CLASSIFICATION M3
Nuclear morphology suggestive of APML (hypogranular variant) – note high white count suggests should start prednisolone to prevent differentiation syndrome, along with ATRA of course as soon as possible.
Confirm results with Flocytometry
I want my 100X oil, to look for granules or Auer rods.
APL Microgranular variant
Auer rods present, a distinctive feature of AML. WHO classification requires more than 20% blasts in the peripheral blood to make a diagnosis of AML. Order flow cytometry and cytogenetics to identify subtype.
Acute Myelocytic Leukemia
Acute Promyelocytic leukaemia. AML M3 Bilobed nuclei prominent, One of the photos demonstrates auer rods. Commonly known as faggot cells.
?APML hypogranular variant
Welcome back cellavision blog! looks like a case of French APML, with the bi lobed nuclei. Unfortunately the images no longer enlarge upon clicking so i can’t really see if they are of hypogranular variety.
Yes, agree it would be useful if the individual images enlarged when clicked on. I can see enough microgranular activity to go with APML.

APML
Auers bundles….Acute promyelocyte leucemia
The film shows appearance of Sezary syndrome. The cells show groved nuclear chromatin with a high nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio.. The nucleus are clefted in appearance.
AML (FAB M3). Micro granular variant with t(15;17). The majority of the cells are agranular or poorly granular. The nuclei are irregular and occasionally bilobed with abundant cytoplasm mimicking monocytes. Rare cells have Auer rods.
AML
I think those are Sezary cells.
