Faggot cells are cells normally found in the hypergranular form of acute promyelocytic leukemia (FAB - M3). These promyelocytes (not blast cells) have numerous Auer rods in the cytoplasm which gives the appearance of a bundle of sticks, from which the cells are given their name.Lichtman, Marshall A., Shafer, Jean A., Felgar, Raymond E., and Wang, Nancy.
