Auer rod a microscopic finding typical of some types of acute myeloid leukemia and seen in myelodysplastic syndromes.
It may be referred to as an Auer body.
General

Features:
- Needle-like cytoplasmic bodies - classic appearance.[3]
- Other shapes: comma-like, diamond-like, rectangular, rarely glandular or corkscrew-like.
DDx:
- Auer-rod like inclusions - may be seen in multiple myeloma[4] or lymphoma cells.[2]
