Other hematopathologists have told me that they've rarely seen Auer rod-like structures in lymphocytes, but I do not think that they published their findings.

Anybody doing/done apoptosis work on activated lymphs in Infectious mononucleosis or other acute viral infections. Q2. For the morphologists - has anybody seen "Auer rod like" bodies in lymphs from a NHL. Romanowsky staining is exactly like Auer rods but they are rhomboid in shape. They are not an artefact and show in successive samples days apart. I've seen plenty of crystals in LPD's but all "transparent" and not staining pinkish-blue as these are. Nobody here has seen them before either. Regards Wal Sharp
