Illustration of a cell in hypergranular acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL). APL is a subtype of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). AML is a cancer affecting the myeloid tissue (bone marrow), and APL specifically affects a type of white blood cell precursor (promyelocytes) that form a type of white blood cell known as granulocytes. In the hypergranular form of the disease the promyelocytes have many azurophilic granules in their cytoplasm that contain enzymes. | |
