⁉️ Question: Can Auer Rod be seen in neutrophils?
✅ Answer: Yes, it can.
It is rare to find auer rod in mature neutrophils. When this does occur, it is associated with specific types of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), such as AML with t(8;21) translocation, acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), AML with maturation, and mixed lineage leukemia. They can also appear in APL patients following treatment with all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA).
