At least 3 percent of these are peroxidase or Sudan black positive 2. Remaining 10 percent (or less) of cells are maturing granulocytes or monocytes |

30 to 89 percent of non-erythroid cells 2. Monocytic cells <20 percent 3. Granulocytes from promyelocytes to mature neutrophil >10 percent |

2. Characteristic cells containing bundles of Auer rods (faggots) invariably present. Note: Microgranular variant also occurs ( ANLL,M3v) |

2. Sum of myeloblasts, promyelocytes, myelocytes and later granulocytes is between 30 and 80 percent of non-erythroid cells 3. >20 percent of non-erythroid cells are monocyte lineage 4. If monocytic cells exceed 80 percent, diagnosis is M5 2. Eosinophils are abnormal 3. Eosinophils chloroacetate and PAS positive |

2. M5a , 80 percent of monocytic cells are monoblasts 3. M5b , <80 percent of monocytic cells are monoblasts, remainders are predominant promonocytes and monocytes |

2. 30 percent of the remaining non-erythroid cells are agranular or granular blasts (types I and II) Note; if >50 percent erythroid cells but <30 percent blasts, diagnosis becomes myelodysplastic syndrome |
