Figure 5. This high power view provides an illustration of some of the dysplastic myeloid features. The large basophilic cell on the right appear to have a small Auer rod in the cytoplasm. Auer rods are generally not found in accelerated/blast phases of CML, however.
Figure 7. Blasts are increased but account for less than 20% of the nucleated cells in the bone marrow. An eosinophilic precursor is also seen in the middle of the field.
