In this study, we examined a cohort of Japanese patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with cup-like nuclei. In particular, we attempted to provide a detailed definition of the clinical features of AML with cup-like nuclei. The clinical records of patients diagnosed with de novo AML were collected retrospectively. We showed that approximately 2...

... total, 13 patients diagnosed with de novo AML during the study period were included. Of these patients, 8 (61.5%) were men. Representative cup-like blasts are shown in Fig. 1A with marked myeloperoxidase positivity (Fig. 1B). MayGrunwald Giemsa bone marrow smears from case 1 demonstrate the cup-like nature of the nuclear invaginations in many of the blasts. The blasts were intermediate-sized with scant cytoplasm. Auer rods were not seen. Prominent nuclear invaginations were identified in > 10% of the blasts ...
