- It is composed of malignant promyelocytes, which often have a distinctive appearance. But the really characteristic finding in APL is the faggot cell, so named because it contains a ton of Auer rods all piled up on each other, resembling a bundle of sticks (or faggot). When you see these, you can make the diagnosis of APL based on morphology alone, without waiting for molecular or cytogenetic studies (which will show the characteristic t(15;17) of APL ? but which take some time to perform).
