Leukemic myeloblast containing an Auer rod. C. Promyelocytic leukemia cells with prominent cytoplasmic primary granules. | Chapter 104. Acute and Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Part 5 Morphology of AML cells. A. Uniform population of primitive myeloblasts with immature chromatin nucleoli in some cells and primary cytoplasmic granules. B. Leukemic myeloblast containing an Auer rod. C. Promyelocytic leukemia cells with prominent cytoplasmic primary granules. D. Peroxidase stain shows dark blue color characteristic of peroxidase in granules in AML. Platelet counts 100 000 pL are found at diagnosis in 75 of patients and about 25 have counts 25 000 pL. Both morphologic and functional platelet abnormalities can be observed including large and bizarre shapes with abnormal granulation and inability of platelets to aggregate or adhere normally to one another. Pretreatment Evaluation Once the diagnosis of AML is suspected a rapid evaluation and initiation of appropriate therapy should follow Table 104-2 . In addition to clarifying the subtype of leukemia initial studies should evaluate the overall functional integrity of the major organ systems including the cardiovascular pulmonary hepatic and renal systems. Factors that have prognostic significance either for achieving complete remission CR or for predicting the duration of CR should also be assessed before initiating treatment. Leukemic cells should be obtained from all patients and cryopreserved for future use as new tests and therapeutics become available. All patients should be evaluated for infection.
