Reveals the internal structures of Auer bodies in promyelocytes, suggesting granule transformation.

To examine the internal structures of Auer bodies and their relation to azurophil and specific granules.
Examined the morphology of Auer bodies in promyelocytes and myelocytes.
Characterized the internal structures with regard to arrangement and composition.
Auer bodies exhibit various structures: tubules, dense material, and homogeneous material.
Regularly arranged tubules appear crystal-like and are rod-shaped, while others are irregular.
Similar tubular structures found in azurophil granules indicate transformation into specific granules.

Kondo et al. (1966) studied this question.
